Oxford's traditional Fourth of July events may be canceled, but there are several other ways you can celebrate the holiday safely.

OXFORD, CT – July 4 events across the country will not look the same this year thanks to the coronavirus. Many cities and towns have been forced to cancel the annual Fourth of July events, including in Oxford.

The Quaker Farm's Annual Carnival was canceled due to the pandemic. The Quaker Farms Fire Company announced that it would continue to keep an eye on the situation and would attempt to hold the carnival if larger events are allowed later in the summer.
