Wynonna Judd Headlines Fourth Of July Festival In Palmetto

PALMETTO, FL — The city of Palmetto’s annual free Fourth of July Festival is back after the COVID-19 pandemic canceled last year’s event.

The festival, organized by the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency, will take place July 4 at Sutton Park, 1036 6th Street W., overlooking the Manatee River, according to a Facebook post by the CRA.

Palmetto’s own Sgt. Duane Kauffman will kick off the festival with his band, His Country, at 5 p.m., the CRA said.
