Join us for a great day of celebration and patriotism in and around downtown Culpeper on July 4, 2012. The Independence Day Celebration is a safe, fun, and affordable event that represents not only our heritage, but also a strong sense of community spirit. The day's events will include a 5K race, youth sporting events, patriotic speeches, a festive parade, CRI's 4th of July Car & Bike Show, food and craft vendors, amusements for children and adults, a band and of course FIREWORKS that will delight everyone!

Make sure you will be one of them again this year. Check out this year's Schedule of Events to see what the 2012 celebration will have in store!
