MORGAN HILL CELEBRATES AMERICA’S 243 rd BIRTHDAY!
elcome to Morgan Hill’s celebration of our country’s birthday. Residents and visitors will
enjoy our small-town ambience and strong sense of community as our Independence Day
Celebration (IDC) volunteers once again produce an outstanding series of celebratory events. I hope
that every one of us can put our nations differences aside and give thanks for the freedoms and
liberties that the generations before us fought so hard for!
The Freedom Fest two-day celebration kicks off with children from the community singing their hearts
out at the Downtown Amphitheatre on Wednesday, July 3rd. The Family Music Fest, later that evening,
has music and entertainment for all ages. On July 4, rise early to run the 5K and /or have your kids
run the mile on the parade course. The Classic Car Cruise sets the stage for the Parade later that
morning and a spectacular Fireworks Show at sunset, caps off the day at the Morgan Hill Outdoor
Sports Center!
While you are here visiting Morgan Hill, I hope you will enjoy the many award-winning wineries,
pick-your-own farms, boutique retail shops and fabulous restaurants.
We truly appreciate the entirely volunteer IDC team that produces the Freedom Fest events. They are
easy to recognize in their bright red shirts, so please thank them and consider donating to help offset
the sizable costs of these events.
Morgan Hill is a fantastic community that we are all very proud of. On behalf of our City Council,
I am proud to welcome you to this year’s birthday party. Enjoy the events, enjoy Morgan Hill and
have a safe, sane, and very enjoyable holiday. Happy Birthday America!
Sincerely,
Mayor Rich Constantine
