Independence Day Festivities

As if we have to say, put a placeholder in your calendar for July 3rd for a grand celebration. This year, in addition to the traditional BBQ, bonfire and epic fireworks, we will be celebrating LPIA’s 100th Anniversary. Food and fun all evening!

For the 100th, we will unveil a bronze plaque, receive official proclamations from government officials and hear a few words from LPIA descendants of the organization’s founders. We’ll share a special birthday cake and maybe even have a champagne toast. After all, making it to 100 is impressive!

Approximate Schedule of Events:

6PM Parade Kickoff. March, cheer, and wave those flags as we kick things off with our community parade/kiddie train ride around the neighborhood. There will also be kid-approved games in the park and a classic sack race too.🥁🎺

6:30PM 100th Celebration at the rock near the bocce court. 🎉

7PM Get your Feedbag on! Come and savor hearty clam and salmon chowders plus clam cakes, juicy burgers, sizzling hot dogs, salad and all the fixin’s. Then, build your dream treat at the ice cream sundae bar.🍦🍒
