## Resource

City Park is transforming for a bigger, bolder July 4th celebration called Celebrate Freedom, with stars painted on the grass and a full lineup of talent including the Shining Stars Dance Academy, the Doorway Singers, and the U.S. Navy Fleet Forces Wind Ensemble. Crews are working through the heat to fix damaged concrete on the Bagley stage and prep for what’s shaping up to be the area’s premier free event — with parking at $10 cash only and cooling stations to beat the heat. Superintendent Shawn Hopson calls it a “hidden gem” and vows to be first and best.
