A Classic Morning: The Modesto 4th of July Parade
A great way to start your Independence Day is with the energy and community spirit of a hometown parade. The Modesto 4th of July Parade is a fantastic tradition, bringing everyone together for a classic slice of Americana. Head downtown to find a great spot along the route to see the amazing floats, listen to the festive marching bands, and cheer on local groups. Remember to bring your lawn chairs, some water, and a lot of celebratory spirit!
Evening Excitement: Fireworks at John Thurman Field
For a truly spectacular end to your holiday, the fireworks show at John Thurman Field is the place to be. Held after the Modesto Nuts baseball game, this display lights up the night sky with a professional and dazzling show. It’s a beloved Modesto tradition that captures the explosive joy of the Fourth.
A Relaxing Evening: Concerts at Graceada Park
If a more relaxed evening is your style, the concerts at Graceada Park are a wonderful choice. This event offers a more peaceful way to celebrate the holiday. It’s a great opportunity to pack a picnic basket, spread out a blanket on the lush lawn, and enjoy beautiful live music with friends and neighbors as the sun sets.
From all of us at Rise ‘n’ Shine Pool Service, we hope you have a joyful, safe, and sparkling Fourth of July!
