Fireworks:  All of us loved the bigger fireworks last year; we heard from lots of people in town that they could see the fireworks from in-town better than in the past, plus everyone loved the longer show.  However, the price of our fireworks have increased, and we've recently decided that we are going to keep displaying the bigger and better fireworks!   That means, unfortunately, that our Fireworks cost more than they ever have in the past!  The more money we raise, the bigger the boom!  

Please help us by donating where you can, as the fireworks are completely paid for by the volunteers who work so hard on behalf of our community!  Please remember that individual fireworks may not be shot off west of 2nd St., and be aware of increasing fire danger.   If you park near a farmer's fields to watch the fireworks, please be careful with your vehicle, and don't set off sparklers, or anything that can get away and start a fire.

Vendors:  Yes, we have vendors!  Some of them are old favorites, but there are a few new ones too.  Plus, our restaurants are having great specials!  Watch the HFEA Facebook page for announcements. 

Bands:  Outlaw Shine is one of our favorite Harrisburg local bands; they will be playing in the afternoon again this year!   Come on down to enjoy them, and learn how to Line Dance too!  Then, Cornerstone and the Walters are back!   From 6:00 or 6:30 on the evening of the 4th they will be playing music.  This will be followed by a presentation of colors, the pledge of allegiance, and the national anthem. 

Flag Raising: There are two flag raising ceremonies this year.  The first flag raising will be at the museum, on the morning of the 4th of July at 8:00am.  The second flag raising ceremony will be held at 10:00 at the Riverfront Gazebo.

Firecracker 5K:  We are holding our Firecracker 5K & Kids Fun Run event on Sunday, June 30, at 9:00am and 11:00am respectively!      CLICK HERE to register.   Register by June 21st in order to be sure to get your T-shirt size! 

Pet & Costume Parade:  Join the fun on the morning of Monday, July 3rd.  Kids, adults, and pets are welcome, as well as bikes, wagons, or carts -- all decorated in red, white, and blue.  Check-in starts at 10:15am on Schooling Street, between 1st and 2nd St., where the event will be staged.  Judging starts at 10:30am and the parade begins at 11:30am.
