Featuring the town’s Wall of Honor, displaying the hundreds of local service men and women and first responders who have served in support of the nation, this patriotic celebration of freedom honors those who have contributed their time and sacrificed their lives to guarantee liberty.
The event will be highlighted by first responders and honorably discharged veterans and a 21-gun salute. Following the morning’s celebration, the Fireworks Over the Lake display will be approximately 30 minutes after sundown over Thompson Bay.
