"Come enjoy your favorite vendors, organizations and rides with a revolutionary twist!" the township said.
Attendees are also invited to "dress for the fun" by wearing red, white and blue or patriotic or Revolutionary-era clothing.
For West Windsor residents, Community Day offers a chance to enjoy a longtime local celebration while marking the nation's 250th birthday with a Revolutionary twist.
