On Saturday, July 4, Celebrate America with the City of Manassas from 3 to 10 p.m. in Historic Downtown Manassas. The celebration begins with the Bicycle Decorating Contest. At 5 p.m. visitors are invited to take part in a Watermelon-eating Contest. Next, judges from around the city will lend their culinary expertise to judge the Apple and Peach Pie Baking Contest. To sign up for these contests, visit http://www.visitmanassas.org.
Visitors can bring a blanket or a lawn chair to lay claim to a spot for viewing what have been described as “the best fireworks in Virginia.” Beginning at 3 p.m., there will be children’s rides, food vendors, and other vendors. The celebration centers around the Harris Pavilion, the Manassas Museum and the Train Depot.
The City of Manassas loves pets, but pets do not love loud noises. Their ears are more sensitive and city officials ask that pets be left at home in the air conditioning. This time of year, streets and sidewalks are hot enough to burn puppy paws.
