Des Moines to celebrate 4th of July with free Stars, Stripes & Sunshine event at Marina and Beach Park
Families looking to celebrate Independence Day in the region will have plenty of options when the City of Des Moines hosts its annual Stars, Stripes & Sunshine event on Saturday, July 4, at Des Moines Marina and Beach Park.
The free community celebration will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and feature live music, a farmers market, food trucks and a variety of activities for all ages.
Organizers said attendees can celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday and enjoy arts and crafts, bounce houses, Gaga Ball, tug of war, a dunk tank, photo booth and Robo Bots demonstrations.
A beer garden also will be available for adults.
BAT Theatre will also be there, reading the Declaration of Independence starting at 1 p.m.
The event is designed as a family-friendly gathering along the city’s beautiful waterfront.
City organizers are encouraging residents and visitors to bring family and friends and kick off their 4th of July celebrations at the marina and beach park.
As The Waterland Blog previously reported, there will be no fireworks or drone show this year.
