Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center announces fireworks show

The Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center is pleased to again host the 2019 Independence Day Celebration. This year’s event will be on Friday, July 5th at the 4-H Center.

Festivities will begin at 4:00 p.m. and will continue throughout the evening including live patriotic music performed by the American Legion Community Band. Also, vendor tables, children’s games, and food trucks will be set up by community partners to keep guests entertained until the capstone event of a professional fireworks display – set to include fully 1,000 individual “oohs and ahhs!” Parking will be available and Warren County Sheriff Department will be present for security and egress traffic support. A voluntary donation (recommended $5 per vehicle) will be requested at the gate to help offset the cost of the event.

New 4H Center Director Jeremy Stanford says “In my thus short tenure as a resident of the Front Royal/Warren County area, I have gained a clear understanding of how important this event is to our community, specifically this year, but generally as an annual celebration. I am very pleased to be able to revive this event and particularly impressed with how many citizens, companies, and agencies have demonstrated an eager willingness to support the event through sponsorship. Please join us for this outstanding event and consider supporting our sponsors.”

4H Center Board of Directors President Tobin Smith says “We are excited to host the fireworks at the 4-H Center again this year. This is an important community celebration for Front Royal and Warren County and we are pleased to be a part of it.”
