The 2009 Celebration will begin Tuesday, June 30 and end on Sunday, July 5. The theme this year is "Discover Hidden Treasures at the Greatest 4th in the North". (Think Pirates!) The most commonly asked questions concerning the festival are: "When are the fireworks and when is the Grand Parade?" To answer these questions, the fireworks are ALWAYS on July 4 and the Grand Parade is also always on July 4, EXCEPT…when the 4th falls on a Sunday. If the 4th falls on a Sunday, then the parade would be on Saturday the 3rd. So, hopefully everyone now knows when the fireworks and parade will be every year!
