Important Information for July 4th in Sewanee

Following a longstanding tradition, the Sewanee community Fourth of July celebration will be held, rain or shine, with a few exceptions:

Because it will be raining cats and dogs, the Cats’ Meow and Mutt Show planned for Manigault Park have been canceled.

Regarding the dunking booth; if steady rain occurs around 10 a.m., then the dunking booth activity will be canceled.

The parade will be held, rain or shine, unless there is thunder and lightning. If it is thundering and lightning at noon, the parade will be canceled.

If weather permits, the air show and airplane rides will take place in the afternoon.

The Sewanee Volunteer Fire Department will determine by 6 p.m. on July 4 if the fireworks will still take place that night.

Events STILL taking place at this time include the Flag Raising, the Arts and Crafts Fair, the Cake Contest, the University Archive’s Civil War Collection, carillon recital, pie eating contest and the SSMF students and faculty brass quintet concert.

At this time, alternate rain venues for the Sewanee Chorale, Davidson Local, and nail clippings for your dog have not been determined.

The July 3 street dance will still be held at 8 p.m. Rain location is Cravens Hall.

The Fourth of July committee will keep you informed as best they can with any updates.
