A Good Old-Fashioned Fourth

June 24, 2023

There are so many Fourth of July events happening this weekend and early next week, we couldn’t cram them all in the Top 10 if we tried. (We did get a lot of them into our Dates section, so be sure to head there next!) But if you want a one-stop shop for Americana fun, we’d recommend heading to Crystal Mountain in Thompsonville. They have a packed Independence Day weekend, including a 5K fun run (9am on Saturday, July 1; $15-$20 registration), daily family crafts, chair lift rides, and a family golf scramble (10am shotgun start on Monday, July 3; $20/person). Also on Monday, enjoy the Bike & Golf Cart Parade (5:15pm) and a party-slash-carnival in Barr Park, followed by a campfire and free outdoor screening of The Sandlot (6-11pm). If all of that doesn’t get you in the red, white, and blue spirit, nothing will! Get all the details at crystalmountain.com/event/old-fashioned-fourth-of-july.
