Wake Forest has been celebrating our nation’s birthday for 51 years, and this year’s events will equal those before it.
It begins on Wednesday evening at the Heritage High School stadium. The gates open at 5:30 p.m. The entertainment begins around 6, when the Tyson Brothers will take the stage followed by the Band of Oz at 7.
The fireworks cannot begin until darkness, so there will be a wait until 9:30 or so, but the music and other entertainment will fill the gap.
The Children’s Parade down North Main Street and around to Holding Park begins with the lineup at 10 a.m. Dawn Nakash and the Wake Forest Optimist Club are the organizers of this year’s parade.
At Holding Park the Wake Forest Woman’s Club and the Wake Forest Fore Department will provide refreshments and entertainment.
