Inspired by traditional community Independence Day gatherings, the family-friendly celebration will bring veterans, their families and the Tallahassee community together for food, music, games and activities before the city’s evening fireworks events.

Activities are expected to include:
• A cornhole tournament
• A homemade ice cream competition
• Cake walks and children’s games
• Board games inside the Post home
• Live Appalachian bluegrass and other musical entertainment
• Traditional outdoor games and family activities

Guests will also enjoy complimentary all-beef hot dogs with trimmings, potato chips, desserts, lemonade, fruit punch, cold water, boiled peanuts, freshly popped popcorn, watermelon and homemade ice cream.

Admission and food are free. The event is open to the entire community, and no American Legion affiliation is required to attend. Activities and entertainment may be adjusted as planning continues.
