HOME SWEET HOME - MORGAN HILL !
July 4 , 2016
Welcome to Morgan Hill ! We are so glad that you chose our wonderful city as your destination for this year ’ s celebration of our nation ’ s founding . This year ’ s theme of “ America — My Home Sweet Home ” captures the spirit of the United States as a place for freedom , opportunity and the pursuit of happiness . It also reflects our community as a perfect “ sweet spot ” to gather in celebration of our wonderful nation !
Our residents love Morgan Hill ’ s small-town ambience and spirit of community . They are engaged , working together with passion to accomplish community goals , striving to improve an already great community . They come out in mass for our annual Fourth of July “ Freedom Fest ” celebratory series of events which exemplify all that is so very good about Morgan Hill . so , on behalf of the Morgan Hill City Council , it is with great pride that I welcome you to this year ’ s celebration of Independence Day . I know you will thoroughly enjoy all the events you attend .
Freedom Fest is produced by Independence Day Celebrations which is staffed entirely by dedicated Morgan Hill community volunteers . They work tirelessly for many months to prepare the rich , entertaining menu of events for you to enjoy . They represent the spirit of volunteerism that makes Morgan Hill such an enjoyable community – we so much appreciate their significant contributions to make the holiday so festive and fun .
Events kick-off July 3 with the Patriotic Sing at the Community Center Amphitheater . It is a real hidden gem , giving you a chance to meet exuberant Morgan Hill youth who will thoroughly charm and entertain you . After the Sing , move up Monterey Road a couple of blocks to our fabulous downtown for the Family Music Fest with entertainment for all ages . Rise early on the 4 th to run the 5K on the parade course . The grand parade commences mid-morning , starting with a Classic Car Cruise . Fireworks commence at sunset at our Outdoor Sports Complex . Preceded by entertainment , they close out the events in a very spectacular way !
We encourage visitors to Morgan Hill this holiday to get to know us , enjoy our home-town atmosphere , and visit our shops , restaurants , wineries , beautiful back roads and other amenities . Have a safe , sane and very enjoyable holiday !
Sincerely ,
Steve Tate
