Last year was arguably the Largest 4th of July celebration in the History of Rutherford County... but that was just the Beginning!
And It's a Free Event for the entire Community!!!!!
Sponsored by Redemption Faith Center, Cornerstone Fellowship & Father's Vineyard
in partnership with local churches, ministries and businesses.
Summer is upon us and that means cook-outs, beach trips and the 4th of July! This year's event is shaping up to be Spectacular. It started off with the disappointing news that the Annual Chamber of Commerce 4th of July Fireworks would be cancelled this year due to lack of financial support. However, several of our local churches have come together to Save our Fireworks and in essence this great holiday! Cornerstone, Father's Vineyard and Redemption Faith Center have partnered together to spear head this community project and raise the money necessary to host the Festival, fireworks and all.
This year's Event will begin at 1pm on July 3rd behind the Tri-City Mall. The actual event will take up quite a bit of space including the Retro-Cinema Parking Lot, the field between The Family Christian Bookstore and Lifestyles Wellness Center, the parking lot behind the mall and ajoining areas. The days festivities will last from 1pm until 10pm
We are thrilled to announce that Germack Audio will once again be providing the Center Stage for the Festivals Music Program. The Lineup of Artist and Praise Teams will include: Charlie Buitrago, Sam Banfield, Redemption Faith Center, The Praise Team from Cornerstone Fellowship, After the World Drama Ministry, Street Beatz, Battle Cry Band, and much more!
Of course there will be Bounce Rides for the children (Free of Charge!!!!) again. The Army National Guard will be bringing out their "Cool" Stuff... (Tentatively) including a Rock Wall, Paint Ball, and more. Mike Packett of Dino's Pizza & The Retro Cinema will be organizing the 2nd Annual Freedom Celebration Car & Bike Show for us. This year's Car & Bike Show will serve as the Kickoff Event for RFC's Toys 4 Tots 2010 Campaign! And the evening will conclude with a Great Fireworks Display!
So make your plans now to join us on Saturday the 3rd of July in Forest City for our 2nd Annual Freedeom Celebration!
