ANNUAL FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION
D E L E C N A C
Celebrate Independence Day at the City of Nassau Bay's Annual Parade & Fireworks Show! It's time to get ready for this year's annual Fourth of July celebration! Activities will look a bit different all around, but we still want to have an opportunity to celebrate our community spirit and America's Independence! Water Wars – Noon to 2:00pm: Get your water guns and water hoses ready to soak your neighbors in this fun event. You don't need to register to participate in Water Wars! However, you do need to display a stars and stripes bandana on yourself, wagon or cart. You can pick up your free bandana at 18639 Prince William Ln from 9:00am to 10:30am on July 4th. Please be sure to look out for prominently displayed bandanas while participating in this fun event! Note – water balloons, cars, and trucks are NOT allowed. Parade @ 6:00pm: With COVID-19 considerations, there will not be public participation in this year’s Fourth of July parade. The parade will consist of our Nassau Bay first responders (Police, Fire, and EMS), City Council, and Public Works personnel. There will be three "mini" parades throughout the City that will begin at 6:00pm. Residents are invited to lineup in front of their homes to watch these parades. Please visit the City's website at www.nassaubay.com/specialevents for the new parade routes (and for all of the Fourth of July celebration information). Additionally, there will be no public activities at David Braun Park after the parade – this includes no food vendors, no live music, and no pie contest. Fireworks @ 9:00pm: Finish the evening celebrations with patriotic fireworks, which will be shot off at the end of the Nassau Bay peninsula (normally at the entrance of the peninsula). This is the same fireworks location as the Annual Boat Parade fireworks. Please note, David Braun Park will not be open to the public during the fireworks. Independence Day Spirit: We hope you will join us with your Fourth of July spirit! Let's see who can decorate their yards with the best RED + WHITE + BLUE!
ROSCOE LEE PAVILION DEDICATION
On Friday, June 12th, the City of Nassau Bay unveiled the dedication plaque for the Roscoe Lee Pavilion at David Braun Park. The pavilion is being dedicated to Roscoe Lee, a charter member of the Parks & Recreation Committee and Chairman of the Planning Commission, for his forty-plus years of service to the City of Nassau Bay. Congratulations, Roscoe and the Lee Family! "Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy.
