From the organizer: Please join us on Sunday, July 1 to celebrate America’s 242nd birthday. 

Families love this outdoor event and this year we are extending our games for children and adults including face painting and coloring, bouncing castle, fun games and contests.

We also welcome back the popular Vietnam National Circus with acts that will amaze people of all ages. Doors open at 4:00pm, activities and games start at 4:15pm, and the event will last long into the evening. Rain or shine, the fun goes on as planned at this event.

Music fans will be treated to several live performances. We also have some great prizes for the winners of our 9th annual watermelon eating contest, so be sure to participate and show-off those eating skills you have been working hard at perfecting!

Get the camera on your smartphone ready because the US Embassy Marine Security Guard Detachment will be Marching the Colors and Harley-Davidson super bikes will be on-site for your perfect photos.
