Roanoke, Virginia – As the summer approaches, Roanoke Parks and Recreation is seamlessly integrating a host of engaging activities into its outdoor offerings. The department is cordially inviting the public to partake in the complimentary ‘Freedom Festival’, scheduled to occur on the 2nd of July, in honor of the forthcoming Independence Day.
The proceedings are set to commence at 5 p.m. at the tranquil environs of River’s Edge Park South. The agenda for the day encompasses a range of family-friendly recreations, which include trampolines, bounce houses, and an exhilarating Fun Zone. Moreover, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in gastronomic delights offered by an assortment of food vendors, while a beer garden will also be accessible for those interested in libations.
As the festivities unravel, guests will be treated to a series of musical performances. Bands such as the Jared Stout Band, Five Points Music Sanctuary, and The Dead Reckoning are scheduled to regale the audience. The event is slated to culminate in a spectacular display of fireworks, which will illuminate the night sky above River’s Edge Park at precisely 9:30 p.m.
It is important to note that the festival and concert will proceed regardless of the weather conditions. The event organizers have committed to providing updates on the status of the fireworks display, should there be unfavorable weather. These updates will be disseminated via social media by 5 p.m. on the day of the event. Given the potential for road closures and restricted parking, the organizers recommend that attendees formulate their travel arrangements in advance.
