All throughout Adams and York counties, you will find a myriad of celebrations commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and our declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.
In Hanover, the borough's Liberty Day festivities will be held Sunday at Moul Field and will feature a 10K race beginning at 8:15 a.m., softball and baseball home run derbies, water games, and a fire equipment display. The Colgan Hirsh Band will perform at 7:15 p.m. with a fireworks display that starts at dusk. York's traditional Fourth of July holiday concert by the York Symphony Orchestra followed by a fireworks display is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. Sunday. The event is being presented by the Cultural Alliance of York County, admission is free but participants are asked to donate non-perishable food items that will benefit the York County Food Bank and for a weekend long celebration, visit the 4th of July Gettysburg Civil War Battle re-enactments. The re-enactments run from July 2-5 and feature living history programs throughout each day. Features of the event are live Civil War music, period fashion shows, and real Civil War weddings.
As we enjoy festivities with neighbors, friends, and family let us not forget those that have fought to give us the freedoms that we enjoy and those that continue to fight to uphold those true freedoms that our forefathers and foremothers laid out so wisely for us.
