Fenton’s 4th Of July Fireworks 2020 Canceled

FENTON, MI– 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 Fenton. Although Fenton’s fireworks, parade and 5K event have been canceled, they have been replaced with a virtual race and parade.

Runners can register for the race online, pick any starting location, and then upload their time to the website to receive a medal and t-shirt. The virtual parade is beginning on July 4 at 10 a.m. and will be broadcast on channel 191. People are encouraged to decorate their houses, yards, and bikes in red, white & blue.

This year, the fireworks, pancake breakfast, rubber duck race, craft show, Bar-B-Q, and children's games had to be canceled due to COVID-19.
