The Boyne City 4th of July Committee has planned another fun-filled holiday that includes events from dawn to dusk and beyond on Thursday. Already recognized by USA Today and the Travel Channel as one of the best small town Independence Day celebrations in the nation, Boyne City's 4th of July Festival was
honored recently by Reader's Digest as one of the top 15 in the nation.
WEDNESDAY starts with Bouncers and More and the Waterside Arts & Crafts Show in Veterans Park all day and continuing Thursday. The Boyne City Farmers Market moves to Peninsula Beach today from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. Also Wednesday is the All-Class Reunion in Veterans Park from 1-3 p.m. Registration and packet pickup for the 2 mile and 10k Independence Day Run is held between 5 and 6 p.m. today (Wednesday) in Sunset Park behind the Log Cabin.
THURSDAY starts with race registration from 6:30-7:15 a.m. in Sunset Park, breakfast at the Eagles from 7-10, and the running races at 7:30 a.m. The Grand Parade starts at 10 a.m. on Water and North Lake Streets, with a theme of "Our nation's Independence, family, fun, and fireworks."
After the parade in Veterans Park you can enjoy the Boyne Valley Garden Club Pie Sale ($3 a slice) and Rotary Club Chicken Barbecue ($13 dinner), plus children's games and a pie-eating contest organized by Boyne City Kiwanis.
From 1-7 p.m. there will be live music in the park with Full Circle performing at 1 p.m., Yankee Station at 3, and Northern Nites at 5.
