A group of dedicated community volunteers has been working diligently for months to offer a free and fun weekend to celebrate the Fourth of July and the America 250th.

Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers says there's a single thing the community can do to support the hard work of these individuals - and that is simply, show up.

According to the Chief, preparations will kick off in the afternoon of Friday when the entire Square closes to all vehicular traffic at 2 PM for vendor setup. The live entertainment schedule launches that evening at 6 PM with the band Blondarosa, followed by Brushville on the Mr. Lincoln Stage.

Chief Lowers reminds the holiday weekend will conclude as it traditionally does on the night of July 5th. Per standard City traditions, the community fireworks display is scheduled to launch at dusk, officially closing out the 2026 celebration.
