NORWICH – From backyard barbecues to fireworks and celebrations, people near and far gather to celebrate our nation’s Independence Day every July. A hometown celebration all its own will be held this July 4 in Norwich, providing family fun and entertainment.

This year’s Independence Day celebration, Fireworks over the Fairgrounds presented by Millennia Entertainment of New Berlin, will provide a day filled with live music, venders, food, activities and a large fireworks display. Taking over the fairgrounds every July 4, Millenia Entertainment owner Terry Potter says it’s tradition and an event he looks forward to each year.

“This event is a great for families to attend together, there is something for everyone and it’s always a great way to celebrate the fourth,” said Potter.

This year’s event takes place Wednesday, July 4 with the gates opening at 3:30 p.m. and lasting until the fireworks.
