Crozet Independence Day Celebration – Saturday, July 5

Parade – 5:00 PM
Starts at Crozet Elementary and travels down Crozet Avenue to Claudius Crozet Park. Parade lineup begins at 4:00 PM.

Celebration & Fireworks at King Family Vineyards (6550 Roseland Farm)
Festivities continue after the parade with live music, kids’ activities, food trucks, and local beer, cider, and wine. Fireworks begin around 9:30 PM.

→ Free Admission but suggested $5/person donation.
→ No coolers, tents, outside alcohol, or pets.

Looking for another great spot to catch the fireworks? Here are a few local favorites:

• Bar Botanical (Crozet) – Rooftop views of the show! It filled up fast last year, so arrive early if you want a good spot.

• Restoration at Old Trail – Club Members can reserve a spot on the patio to enjoy the show. Space is limited.

• Wintergreen Resort – Want a change of scenery? Wintergreen has its own fireworks at 9:30 PM plus music and all-day free activities.

Kick Off the Long Weekend at Flying Fox - Start your holiday weekend early with a visit to Flying Fox Vineyard & Winery on July 3rd from 11:00 AM - 5:30 PM, where owners George and Tralyn Hodson will be behind the bar pouring fan-favorite wines and mixing up special Vermouth Spritzers. Enjoy stunning views, good company, and festive treats (yes, that includes patriotic Little Debbies). It’s the perfect way to toast to the weekend and meet the people behind the wine.

Step Right Up at Crozet Library! - On Wednesday, July 9 at 10 AM, don’t miss Geoff Marsh: Circus Tycoon- a high-energy, family-friendly show packed with balancing stunts, close-up magic, and laugh-out-loud juggling. Free tickets available starting at 9 AM, while they last. All ages welcome!
