Be aware that if you arrive earlier than 7:30pm at Granville Gude Park and leave items unattended, they will be picked up and taken to the Lakehouse. You will have to go there to retrieve them.
Mayor Craig A. Moe recommends that you carpool with family and friends and allow enough time to locate available parking.
You are also encouraged to be patient the day of the event since there will be large crowds and to be considerate of the businesses that are open as you look for parking for the event on July 3, 2021.
The forecast is calling for on and off rain on Saturday, July 3rd, so please follow our Social Media sites – City of Laurel – Government on Facebook and @LaurelCityOEM or @LaurelPIO on Twitter - and we will post any updates to the schedule of events as they become available.
Thank you and have a safe and happy Independence Day!
