The Town of Kirkwood will be honoring our Nation's 250 Birthday with a day-long celebration that will start with a parade and an opening ceremony with an honor guard, singing of the Star-Spangled Banner by Alyssa Crosby, bell ringing and reading of the Declaration of Independence. Activities include, but are not limited to, living history demonstrations, Revolutionary-war re-enactors, tours of the Kirkwood Historical Society showcasing the Town's history, Art exhibits from local schools showcasing students artistic interpretation of the last 250 years, agricultural exhibits paying tribute to our Town's heritage in farming past and present. We plan on spotlighting the immigrants that called Kirkwood home by showcasing Irish bands and dancers and promoting our German Club's annual breakfast. There will also be colonial games and activities for kids and adults in which to participate. The evening will end with a concert by The Blue Velvet Big Band featuring patriotic songs leading up to a fireworks display. Food Vendors and Food Trucks will also be on site throughout the day.
