Description
Welcome to the City of Valparaiso’s 4th of July Celebration at Lincoln Park. We hope the following information will be helpful and valuable to you as you plan your holiday activities. This year we will have our traditional Duathlon (5K Run/2oo Meter Swim) and 5K Walk at 7 a.m., followed by a family oriented, one mile Fun Run (which is free) at 8:00. We have a full day of family activities scheduled at Lincoln Park on the 4th. By mid-morning we will have various activities for the kids including a train ride, a bounce house and a waterslide.
The shaded park has a pavilion covered picnic area for lunch and a sandy beach for swimming, enjoying your canoe/kayak, paddle boarding, and other water related activities for afternoon fun. At dusk our Twin Cities Fireworks Show over Boggy Bayou will take place . . . so plan to come and spend the day with us.
