Come celebrate July 4th at North Hills this Friday. There will be games, music, a parade and even an appearance by the 2008 Mrs. North Carolina America, Maureen MacDonald. The event is free and open to the public. See below for some more details.

What: July 4th Celebration at North Hills

When: Friday, July 4 from 11:00am - 3:00pm

  • Parade registration from 11:00 - 11:20am
  • Parade starts at 11:30am

Where: The Commons lawn (across from Regal Cinemas)

More Details:

Parade:

The children’s parade will have prizes for the best decorated bikes, tricycles, wagons and costumes. Please decorate your child’s bike before coming to the event and arrive around 11:00am to register for the parade, which starts at 11:30. The suggested entry fee is one canned food item to help restock Wake Relief’s pantry.

Music:

After the parade, there will be music for people to enjoy. Guitarist Josh Long will go on at noon and Old Avenue will play at 1:15pm. Old Avenue is a jazz/funk/pop rock band made up of local high school stundents who recently won Lincoln Theater’s Battle of the Bands contest.

Other:

In addition to the parade and music, there will be a moon bounce and amusement park games for kids. There will also be a juggler, balloon artist, face painter and caricaturist for added entertainment. If you’re in the mood to shop, I’m told there will special holiday promotions at North Hills stores.

This should be a nice July Fourth celebration for friends and family. I may be at the beach on vacation, but if I’m in Raleigh, I’ll definitely be there.
