Since 1868, our community of Seward, Nebraska has honored and cele-brated the anniversary of our United States. Rich in community history, this celebration has grown to state and national attention, emphasizing the total community effort. This example of “small town” America celebrating as it has for one hundred forty eight years, will again happen on July 4, 2016, and we invite you to share this day with us, if not in person, at least in spirit! Named Nebraska’s Best Festival 2015, also receiving the award in 2005, 2006 & 2007, three years in a row - a three-peat, and a finalist in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014! Recently named one of America’s Top Ten Fourth of July Celebrations!
