Celebrations for the Fourth of July are on tap in both Madison and Gluckstadt for the upcoming holiday weekend.
MADISON
Strawberry Patch Park will be the site of the city’s Fourth of July and America’s 250 Birthday Celebration.
The public is invited to enjoy live music, picnic favorites, old-fashioned games, historical characters, petting zoo, and the beauty of the park on July 4, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Located at 271 St. Augustine Drive, the seven-acre neighborhood park includes a one-acre lake, a one-mile lighted walking trail, Universal playground equipment, picnic tables and benches throughout the park, a Chapel, Madison Children’s Memorial Garden, Veterans Memorial Garden, and restrooms.
Parking for the event is available on the Madison-Ridgeland Academy campus and in the MRA parking lot on Old Canton Road.
Madison the City in conjunction with the Madison the City Business Network is holding a decoration event where businesses are encouraged to decorate for the Fourth of July.
The idea was brought to the Advisory Council by member Mark Doiron who said, “Since our 250th is upcoming, we need to explode our city with patriotism!”
The Council agreed to use social media and email to challenge Madison businesses to decorate.
As each business sends in photos of their decorations, the Business Network is sharing them on our various social media channels.
GLUCKSTADT
The Gluckstadt Rotary Club is hosting their second annual Fourth Fest event.
