City Council Meeting: May 5, 2026
Department: Parks, Recreation & Community Servic
Subject: Presentation on the 50th July 4th Jubilee and America 250 Celebration (S.Gonzalez/L.Shrum)


BACKGROUND

The City Council created a subcommittee to explore options to enhance the July 4th Jubilee celebration.  The goal was to celebrate both the 50th Jubilee and the 250th anniversary of America. The subcommittee proposed adding a special one-night concert on July 3 featuring Josh Abbott Band.  The subcommittee also proposed adding additional patriotic street banners around the city, commemorative t-shirt sales, a historic plane flyover, a pie-eating contest, pie-baking contest, dunk tank, an expanded fireworks finale, and a shuttle bus route for off-site parking. This presentation will review all of this information.
