It Is An “Apple Pie Fourth of July”

This year’s Sewanee Fourth of July will be an “Apple Pie Fourth of July … An All-American Fourth.” Events begin with the street dance by the Hair Depot  and the Sewanee Market at 8 p.m., Wednesday, July 3. The celebration continues with the flag raising in Abbo’s Alley at 8 a.m. on Thursday, July 4, until the last of the fireworks and music dies away over Lake Cheston that night. This year’s Fourth of July will be filled with sights and sounds as only Sewanee can do it.
Arts and crafts, food, music, the cat show (meow), the mutt show (ruff, ruff), face painting, the dunking booth, children’s games, carillon recital, pie- eating contest, cake-decorating contest, airplane rides, Civil War re-enactors and so much more. And it would not be a Sewanee Fourth of July celebration without the best parade ever. Start thinking about that perfect spot for parade- and people-watching.
The full schedule, plus parking information and the shuttle route will be announced soon, as well as information about local businesses offering special deals, volunteer help and other assistance for planning the perfect day.
