We will be there come see us..
π₯ HEAT ADVISORY ALERT β EVENT TIME CHANGED π₯
Due to the anticipated heat and out of an abundance of caution for our attendees, vendors, performers, volunteers, and staff, Fourth on First will now take place from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 4.
While we know this is a change from our original schedule, the safety of our community remains our top priority. By moving the event to the morning, we can provide a more comfortable environment for everyone to enjoy the celebration.
Staff will continue to monitor the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), which measures heat stress by accounting for temperature, humidity, sunlight, and wind.
Current WBGT conditions and the Town's heat safety status can be monitored at:
