Zelienople Fourth of July Celebration in the Park –

it takes community to be a community.

 

 June 27, 2008, Zelienople, Pa. – Friday, July 4th, join Zelienople, Harmony, Lancaster and Jackson residents in celebrating Independence Day!  The much beloved parade down Main Street, Zelienople begins at 11:00am (the parade is organized by the Zelienople Rotary Club and line up starts at 10:00am on High Street) This year, due to a special guest – the Shriners! – the Shriner’s parade, which begins at 12 Noon, overlaps with the Zelienople Fourth of July Celebration in the Park (park festivities begin at 12:30pm and the parade is expected to end around 1:15pm)

This much beloved annual community celebration runs from 12:30pm – 6:00pm.  Fireworks will be Friday, at dusk (approximately 10:00pm), preceded by the Strand Theater sponsored North Pittsburgh Philharmonic Orchestra (8:00pm).

There will be live music, homemade pies, old-time races: sack races, three-legged races, & ski races; a soak booth; The Seneca Valley Cheerleaders will be doing the face painting; Soccer skills with Seneca Valley North Soccer Association; and an obstacle course and maze for the kiddies.

From 4p-6p the community pool life guards are hosting Silly Swim Games for all ages!

Once again, the Strand Theater is sponsoring the North Pittsburgh Philharmonic Orchestra for a free concert in the Park prior to the Fireworks show.  The concert begins at 8:00pm and plays until roughly 10:00pm when the Fireworks will begin.  The orchestra will be set up in the main playground of the park on the basketball court located next to the swings.  Everyone is encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to listen to this live concert of patriotic favorites and classical music and then, afterwards, to watch the fireworks.  The restrooms at the pool will remain open for this event.
