Keeping up with tradition, I of course am all over the
events and attractions for the fourth of July holiday weekend! As of right now, the weather forecast isn’t
looking so great, however that could definitely change over the next few
days! If it doesn’t there are plenty of
other options to keep busy over the coming weekend.
Events
From fireworks displays to parades and fairs- the weekend
can be packed beginning to end with fun things in Northeast Ohio-
Fairport Mardi Gras Festival kicks off on Wednesday with the
parade at 7pm and fireworks will be on both the 5th and the 7th
at dusk. Kids Day, Senior Day, a 5K, and
even raffle prizes all pack the Mardi Gras event schedule- Visit their Facebook
page here!
Most cities are hosting their fireworks displays on the 4th
around dusk- Check your city for exact information- Willoughby, Mentor and
Wickliffe are each hosting at the same locations as years past!
On the 3rd Debonne Winery has tethered hot air
balloon rides from 6-8pm- A great attraction even if you don’t plan to
ride! The balloons look beautiful and
the wineries are always bustling with activity this time of year!
Rainy
Day Alternatives
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, or if you have some spare
time between outdoor activities- The 4th of July weekend is a great
weekend to shop sales on everything ranging from project necessities to
furniture, plants and appliances- and everything in between! Stores will typically host huge sales to kick
off Summer and get merchandise moving.
If you have had a big ticket item on your wishlist this weekend may be
the weekend to shop around! Area hotels
will also often offer discounts for an overnight stay, or package
specials- This could be a great
alternative in gloomy weather for a quick getaway!
General
Reminders
Trash and mail are delayed on the National holidays, and you
may need to reschedule any weekly visits from landscaping professionals! Even if they are open on the holiday, if you
are planning a party you may not want your pros there before or during your get
together!
Regardless of your plans, the Fourth of July weekend should
prove to be a fun, relaxing and exciting weekend all across Northeast Ohio!
