CHarlottesville Virginia Celebrates July 4th

Residents in Charlottesville Virginia and the surrounding areas have a variety of choices for celebrating July 4th. flag and fireworks

For most of us the 4th of July is a holiday spent with family and friends. Parades, cookouts, fireworks are the usual activities. When my children were growing up July 4th was a full day. It started out with a drive to nearby Scottsville for their traditional parade. We are talking about a real old fashioned parade with fire trucks, cars of local beauty queens, homemade floats, baton twirlers and a few horses. The best part for the children was that most of the participants threw candy and bubblegum. Then it was beck to Free Union for the local parade which everyone took place in. The children were regulars in the kazoo band and one of my daughters even rode her pony one year. Another summer they pulled their dog in a decorated wagon. Of course more bubble gum and candy was involved. The day usually ended on a blanket at the end of the Farmington Country Club golf course with family, friends and a picnic watching the fireworks overhead.

For those of you who are looking for an activity to start your own July 4 traditions here is a link to a list of Charlottesville and Central VA July 4 events.

My wise old grandmother taught me about the Fourth of July: "It's for having fun, food, fireworks, and fellowship with family and friends." I call it the Six F's.
