With the Fourth of July around the corner comes the long standing Monticello Freedom Fest.
Deb McPheeters with the Monticello Freedom Fest says the festivities are held at Lodge Park in Monticello beginning at 4pm, with shuttles from the high school beginning at 5:30pm. The festivities include pony rides, a DJ, inflatables, and food vendors. Fireworks are set to begin at dark.
McPheeters indicates that the Freedom Fest is strictly by donation. The Freedom Fest was started when the people who ran the fireworks decided to retire, and a group of community members banded together to continue the tradition.
Tune in tonight to 95.9 FM WEZC for live coverage of the Monticello Freedom Fest from 4pm to 6pm.
