The Fourth of July celebrates the independence of our nation and the coming together of a diverse groups of people to build our country with tolerance for all. In 2021, we are seeing a comeback of big celebrations, but you may still want to opt for a more low key Independence Day celebration.
See details below on Independence Day events at The Diamond with the Richmond Flying Squirrels, Meadow Farm Museum at Crump Park in Henrico,, Ginter Botanical Garden, Chesterfield County Fairground, Ashland and more. We’ll add more events as we get closer to Independence Day.
