FESTIVAL TO CELEBRATE 23 YEARSNewcomers to the Fishers area might ask, “What is the Fishers

Freedom Festival?” But those of you who have attended might agree that it isas close to Uncle Sam and homemade apple pie as you can get.

The Fishers Freedom Festival offers multiple activities, events and food for allages. Held at the Roy G. Holland Memorial Park (1 Park Drive) just off HollandDrive & Ellipse Parkway in Fishers, this free event offers fine arts & crafts,food & business vendors, live music, 5K Event, Children’s Tent, parades,Street Dance, fireworks and much more will entertain over 45,000 attendeesfrom all over the U.S. each year.

Items will go to local pantries which service Fishers and theFestival’s “Roy Holland Backpacks for Kids” program.

In 1989, the founders of the Fishers Parade and Festival decided to have acommunity gathering to celebrate Independence Day. With the help ofvolunteers, the event originated as a one-day community picnic, parade, and afew games for the children. Due to the overwhelming participation by thepublic, this event grew to a two-day event.

COMCAST MAIN PARADE ON SUNDAY“Honoring Our Hometown Heroes”

As the Fishers Freedom Festival approaches its 23rd annual event,it gives us cause to reflect. Why have a parade andwhy would you want to be involved with it? The foun-dation for this event was built on recreatingcommunity pride, community involvement, a time toreconnect with family, friends and neighbors and most importantly a sense offun and enjoyment that so many of us remember from our early childhood. TheFestival Committee has incorporated a parade in our annual event becauseparades are fun, and it is something the community can become a part of andtake pride in. As with most successful events, they are only as successful asthe effort put into them. The size of our parade requires a number of individualsto carry it through successfully. That is why it is so important for residents toget involved. Let’s help create wonderful memories for you, your children andyour grandchildren to reflect on in the years to come. This year our parade will

showcase both high school marchingbands and guards, as well as many ofyour favorite organizations, churchgroups and Shrine units.

The parade is scheduled for Sunday,June 26 at 4:00 p.m. The parade line upwill be on Municipal Drive and LanternRoad. The parade will step off atLantern Road

and 116th Street and head west on 116th Street toHolland Drive and will travel north on Holland Driveto Ellipse Parkway and back on Lantern Road to theMunicipal Complex where the parade will end anddisband.

Upon the conclusion of the parade, come back to theEntertainment Tent to hear ‘Big Daddy Caddy’perform some of your favorite songs before thefireworks begin.

He will be remembered for his sense of humor, his drive to be the best at everything, and his absolute dedication to the Fishers Freedom Festival and the Town of Fishers.
