4th of July Celebration

Welcome to the best small-town 4th of July celebration. Our community is packed full of family fun the entire day. The 4th kicks off with the annual flag-raising ceremony at Weilmunster Park at 8 am. The Garden Valley EMS/Ambulance service hosts a golf tournament, silent auction, and BBQ, all at Terrace Lakes Resort beginning at 9 am. Children's games start at 10:00 am and we are bringing back the Soap Box Derby races this year!

At 4 pm, the Duck Race is a must-see, and you can participate by purchasing a duck (available at Garden Valley Properties, Garden Valley Homes and Land, and also at the Saturday Farmer's Market). Finally, don’t miss the parade at 6 pm. There are two parts to the parade, Dry and Wet. There is a 5-minute break between the two, so if you don’t want to get drenched, scramble away before the wet parade - swim cap and goggles recommended!

Finish your day 30 minutes after dusk with the biggest small-town fireworks show in the Northwest. Bring your lawn chair or blanket to the park and enjoy the show!
