Coming up on our first Independence Day in the Villages.

Are there any scheduled events, such as fireworks, usually scheduled?

There are not fireworks in The Villages. Wildwood and Leesburg have fireworks.

The Village of Stu plans to have fireworks as well as our traditional mud wrestling.

There will be a "Brews and Cruise" festival at Brownwood on the fourth. First time they are having this event.

There will not be any fireworks, but the ad says there will be a light projection show at 8:30

July 4th, 2021would be my deceased father’s 100th birthday. He passed at 87 and was a WWII veteran who, at age of 17, was deployed to the South Pacific and spent 3 Christmases in a fox hole. I will be flying the flag that draped his coffin for the 1st time on his birthday this year with the hope that future generations will fly it again on his 200th birthday. Happy Birthday Dad!
Thanks alone are not enough for the GREATEST GENERATION.

Congratulations, George. I fly "my dad's flag" on occasion, too. Looks beautiful, and BIG, on my little 20 foot flag pole.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

We all owe a debt of gratitude to your dad and all who served. My dad would have just passed 101 in Jan and served in Europe under Patton.

Not a criticism, but to keep your family history accurate for the generations to come, you might want to revisit the concept that your dad was deployed to the South Pacific at age 17. If he was born 7/4/21, he was 17 in 1938, 2 1/2 years prior to Pearl Harbor.

George, Your dad truly was from the Greatest Generation. I salute him and I thank him. God bless him and of course Happy birthday.

I understand the sentiment but be careful. Burial flags are not the same shape as your everyday oudoor flag. They are more narrow and longer (to fit the coffin shape)

We’ve been in The Villages for the past several years (as part-time residents at first and now full-time). There have not been any fireworks here when we’ve been here. So this year we are spending Independence Day/night in St Augustine with friends and hope to watch fireworks over the water. This is a year that I am especially thankful for our country and our freedoms and I plan to celebrate by watching fireworks!

Fireworks scheduled at Wildwood Community Center, Saturday the 3rd, 9:30. Near Shooters World.

Aren't fireworks from Chyna?
