Crowd watching fireworks

Sponsored by Five Star Subaru, Leaf, & Hill City Celebrations

Free family fun right here in Neahwa Park, starting with a parade on Main Street at 1pm, Music & Market Festival at 2pm through 11pm, and Oneonta’s famous fireworks show at 9:30pm!

 

From the Daily Star

Pure Americana

When you think of a small town Fourth of July, what comes to mind? A parade? A community park setting? Smoke from grills wafting into the breeze? Families enjoying games, music and the company of friends and neighbors capped off by a fabulous fireworks display? You may think these images only live in scenes from a movie or in the pages of a novel celebrating the American Spirit. But for me, it’s a description of Oneonta, NY on America’s Birthday. And admission is absolutely free!

Whether you live in Edmeston, Morris, Worcester, or Milford; Laurens, Burlington, Maryland, or Cooperstown; you are all hereby invited to Oneonta for the Hometown Fourth of July Celebration in Neahwa Park. We would like you to be a part of our small-town celebration, offering everything you would want, on a quintessential summer holiday, while you create a lifetime of memories to cherish.

The Annual Fourth of July Parade on Main Street kicks off at 1:00pm. From there, the crowd makes the short walk to Neahwa Park, where Hill City Celebrations (formerly First Night) has a full day of fun on display. This community party is a family-friendly, alcohol and drug-free event where everyone can enjoy a full slate of live entertainment, games and attractions designed for kids, food and craft vendors galore, and of course a huge fireworks display sponsored by Five Star Subaru. Here is the schedule of live entertainment:
