It's a Smalltown USA Independence Day celebration in Staunton, Virginia, with a parade, entertainment at the Gazebo in Gypsy Hill Park, crafts, food vendors, and fireworks on Saturday, July 3.
Free rides on the miniature Gypsy Hill Express train will be the highlight for some children on Saturday and Sunday, July 3 and 4.
Boy Scout Troop 30 will hold a Flag Retirement Ceremony Saturday at 5:45 p.m. If you have an American flag you would like to retire, it may be dropped off at the America's Birthday Celebration tent.
Saturday morning will kick off with the Firecracker 5K race at 7:30 a.m. followed by the parade at 10:00 in Gypsy Hill Park with patriotic floats, Uncle Sam, politicians, and folks from the community.
Immediately following the parade, entertainment will begin at the Gazebo and continue throughout the day. All are encouraged to carry lawn chairs and plan to relax and listen while munching on funnel cakes and other goodies from the food vendors.
Saturday night's highlight at 8:00 will be the United States Navy Band "Country Current," a country-bluegrass music ensemble formed in 1973 and featuring seven members.
