On Monday, July 4, 2011, the Town of Leesburg will host the 21st annual Independence Day celebration. The fun starts at 10:00 am with the Independence Day parade through the Historic Downtown. “Celebration in the Park” opens at 6:00 pm at Ida Lee Park, featuring an outdoor concert followed by the area’s biggest and best fireworks show.

Show your patriotic spirit at the annual Independence Day Parade, held through Historic Downtown Leesburg. The parade will begin at Ida Lee Park, travel down King Street and conclude at Fairfax Street. Put on your patriotic best and join your friends and neighbors to celebrate the birthday of the United States! Once again Toth Financial will be sponsoring the popular fife and drum corps American Originals, who will be performing at 9:30am before the start of the parade. Grab a spot early and enjoy this patriotic display of music at the intersection of King and Market Streets. This year’s parade will also feature the 4th Annual Patriot’s Cup Competition, sponsored by Leesburg Today. This award will go the best parade entry and the winner will receive a banner to be placed on their entry during the parade and their name engraved on the Patriot Cup.

If you are interested in participating in the parade, entry is free! Please contact Ida Lee Park Recreation Center for an application or visit www.idalee.org for an online version. King Street will close to through traffic at 9:30am in preparation for the parade; streets will re-open at approximately 11:30am.

The excitement and fun continues at Ida Lee Park at 6:00pm when the gates open to more than 20,000 locals for the “Celebration in the Park.” Celebrate America’s big day at Ida Lee Park while listening to the tunes of Faded Image, a rockin’ band from the Baltimore area that plays a mix of tunes from 80’s to country to classic rock. You name it, they play it. The band has been featured all over the region, including headlining at Sloppy Joe’s in Key West, Florida, as well as the Hard Rock Café in Baltimore. Front man Rob Byer has a long history in the music industry having opened for stars like Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney and Charlie Daniels.

Be sure to grab a bite at the event as plenty of food vendors will be on hand. Nothing goes better with July 4th than burgers, hotdogs, ice-cream and funnel cake. Other culinary favorites include BBQ, smoothies, and crab cakes.

The biggest bangs of the evening begin at 9:30pm when the largest fireworks show in Leesburg lights up the sky. Choreographed to patriotic music, this light show is not to be missed. Parking is available at the interior lots off Ida Lee Drive, and the festival field parking off King Street. The Town of Leesburg staff will work hard to insure that as many vehicles as possible are parked in the park, so attendees are asked to be patient while waiting to enter and exit. The Town also reminds our guests to use designated crosswalks.

Leesburg Fire and Rescue Volunteers will be on site to provide medical assistance. Coolers and large bags are permitted but will be checked at gate entrances. Pets, alcohol, glass bottles and personal fireworks (including sparklers) are not permitted. In the event of rain, fireworks will be rescheduled for July 5th at 9:30pm. No other activities will be rescheduled.

Special thanks to our 2011 Independence Day sponsors, including Northwest Federal Credit Union and Leesburg Today/Ashburn Today newspapers.
