“I am pleased to announce that our annual Independence Day concert and fireworks celebration will once again be held for all of our city residents to enjoy,” said Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt. “Like last year, we will observe Independence Day at Barry Field as we continue to honor our veterans with the renovation of World War II Memorial State Park.”
