The event will begin at 2 p.m. Sunday at Harry Wright Lake, and the vendors, rides and entertainment by Soul Machine will be there, along with fireworks on Sunday evening to cap the celebration, Sloan said.
The rides are free and there will be food and craft vendors, raffles and prizes. Swimming in the lake will be free for the day.
