Independence Day Celebration Parade and Evening Show, July 4, 2009

Welcome

On behalf of the members of City Council, I am delighted to welcome each of you to the 43nd annual City of Fairfax Independence Day Celebration. This year’s program begins with a parade and concludes with an evening show that includes a spectacular fireworks display choreographed to music.

The parade theme this year is Hand in Hand, United We Stand, submitted by Kylene Knoll. We hope the parade and evening show will become a fond memory for you and your family.

Thank you for being a part of the City’s Independence Day Celebration. We hope you enjoy the day. Happy Fourth of July!

Sincerely,

Robert F. Lederer
Mayor
