Valley 4th in downtown Harrisburg is also a full day of fun events. During the day, residents and visitors enjoy the Merchant Window Decorating Contest, walking tours with a local historian, a beer garden, live music, children’s activities, and more. A parade is held in the evening, followed by a concert. It all ends with — of course — a great fireworks display. International Festival Contact: Vaunda Brown, 540-433-6228 VaundaBrown@aol.com
