Dora Family Reunion

Friday

Free Day!

That's a lot of family activities for two days, whew! Friday will be a free day for individual family activities, visiting other local relatives or friends, get some work done, or even just a day to rest and gear up for the remainder of the weekend. Whatever you choose to do (with or without other family members) is up to you! Feel free to ask around if you'd like others to join your plans.

If you're looking for ideas, some suggestions are below. Some may take some advanced planning due to popularity, so keep this in mind!

Indiana

Highland 4th of July Festival

Highland, IN is expected to have their annual festivities in Main Square Park, including the Twilight Parade that is anticipated to start on Friday, July 3 at 6:30pm. The parade will progress north down Kennedy Ave. and turn right down Highway Ave. until it reaches Main Square Park. The park itself has wristbands for ages 21+, and the park was fenced in so there is no longer a set "beer garden", but general seating and refreshments throughout the park. There will also be carnival rides, fireworks, live music, food vendors, and craft vendors.
