For over the past 21 years , one of Morgan Hill ’ s most popular Independence day events has been the downtown street dance on the evening of July 3 rd . This year , the dance will remain at the downtown location , and the main stage will be located at Third Street and Monterey Road . The dance starts after the Patriotic Sing , which will be held at Morgan Hill ’ s Downtown Amphitheater , and for many people , it marks the beginning of Morgan Hill ’ s Downtown 4 th of July celebrations . Join us for a fun-filled evening of live music and dancing , food and drinks .

Morgan Hill residents are fortunate to enjoy freedom , amber waves of grain , fruited plains , and an Independent Day celebration that has taken place since 1876 . Weather it ’ s hearing “ The Stars and Stripes Forever ” while watching the fireworks , or turning up the radio during the traditional family BBQ , music is an essential part of how Americans celebrate Independence Day . With this year ’ s “ Home Sweet Home ” theme in mind , we might pay extra attention to the lyrics of the songs that pay tribute to our beautiful country . Songs like America the Beautiful , This Land is Your Land , and God Bless America , describe the beauty and freedoms that we are so privileged to enjoy .
For the past 20 years , the Family Street Dance chairman and Morgan Hill ’ s man of the year , Dennis Dal Poggetto , along with co-chairs Manny and Steve Padilla , have organized this fantastic event . Kimberlee Boggiano , supported by PD Morales and James Uthes , is the overall volunteer coordinator for 50-60 volunteers . It takes approximately 25 logistics volunteers to pull this complicated and amazing event together for our enjoyment .
