Later in the evening, a dazzling fireworks show will light up the night, accompanied by live music from the Temperance Trio. From 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., the Kid’s Zone will feature an array of activities, including bounce houses, slides, games, and more, offered free of charge, courtesy of Dr. Rose from the Pediatric Dental Studio and Dr. Minor from Smile Design Studio Orthodontics.
