Arlington

Viridian’s annual salute to Independence Day will explode with more music and activities, plus a charitable twist during the Stars & Stripes Celebration, from 3-10 p.m. on June 30. The public is invited to bring picnic blankets and lawn chairs to Lake Viridian, 1001 Viridian Park Lane for free concerts by Lillly Harvey, The Shane Bell Band and Live 80.

Once the calendar turns to July, the 12th annual Light Up Arlington is set for 6 p.m. on July 3 on a several-block area surrounding City Hall. The event will feature live music, kid-friendly activities and a spectacular fireworks display. Light Up Arlington also has food trucks and carnival concessions. Bands will perform on downtown stages, including at the Levitt Pavilion. The fireworks display will begin at 9:45 p.m.

The next day, the annual Arlington 4th of July Parade will say, “Happy Birthday, USA!,” when the city’s longest running event winds through Downtown, beginning at 9 a.m.

Started in 1965, the parade was composed of primarily youth on red, white and blue-decorated bicycles, pedaling around Randol Mill Park. It eventually became too large for the park path and has evolved into a two-mile, high-spirited, curb-to-curb ribbon of red, white and blue with 150 entries that roll through downtown and UTA’s College Park District to the beat of patriotic music played by a variety of musical entries. The parade is organized and staged by the all-volunteer non-profit organization, the Arlington 4th of July Association.
