This year, we will be celebrating twenty years of community spirit on
June 28-29, 2008 at Roy Holland Memorial Park. This year’s event will
include activities and events for the entire family starting with the 5k
walk/run on Saturday morning and will conclude on Sunday with a fabulous
firework show beginning at dusk. A new feature this year will be a
lumberjack show both days. The event also features live entertainment
all weekend showcasing “Zanna-Doo” on Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. and
“The Late Show” on Sunday starting around 6:30 p.m. before the fireworks
display.
Back in 1989, the founders of the Fishers Parade and Festival decided to
have a community gathering to celebrate Independence Day. With the help
of volunteers, the event originated as a one-day community picnic,
parade, and a few games for the children. Due to the overwhelming
participation by the public, this event grew to a two-day event.
The mission of the Fishers Freedom Festival is to encourage fellowship
through civic partnerships and citizen involvement by creating a safe
environment, developing needed community services, promoting family
integrity and striving to improve the quality of life for every resident
by investing in human potential.
