**Rain Update**
Owing to the anticipated inclement weather, the 41st Annual Family Fourth of July Celebration will now begin at 5:00 pm on Sunday, July 3rd, 2022.
Activities will include family picnicking and several gourmet food trucks. Live music will include “Mind the Gap’ from 5:30-7:15 PM, and the Town Band from 7:30-9:15 pm. A spectacular fireworks display is scheduled to start soon thereafter.
All vehicles must enter through the South Avenue entrance to Waveny Park. The Lapham Road entrance will be closed to all traffic. Entrance passes must be displayed on the driver’s side dashboard and visible through the window. Pedestrian walkers with passes should only enter the park from the High School parking area.

Please note that the event is for New Canaan Residents only and Non-Resident passes will not be sold this year.
