This information is brought to you by the Town of Parker

Join your neighbors and head to downtown Parker for the Town’s annual Independence Day event, Let Freedom Sing, featuring the Red White and Brew MusicFest presented by the Downtown Development Council. The event will be on Saturday, July 4 from 2 to 10 p.m. and is set to be bigger and better than ever!

Bring blankets or lawn chairs and get ready to enjoy plenty of family fun including: bounce houses, a backyard slide, face painters, temporary tattoo artists, balloon artists, craft vendors and live music. The musicfest kicks off with:

• Ash Ganley Band 2 p.m.
• Gretchen Troop Band at 3:15 p.m.
• Olachi at 4:30 p.m.

Then we should all be excited for local favorite Wendy Woo, who will headline from 6 to 8 p.m.! (Where were you for Parker Days Wendy?? Missed YOU!)

Patriotic inspiration will be in the air at 8:30 p.m. with the sounds of rousing Sousa marches and other instrumental tunes by Rocky Mountain Brassworks. The suspense will grow as the crowd awaits the thrilling fireworks display, which will begin at dusk and commemorate the land of the free with a bang!
