The Bel Air Independence Day Committee solicits tax-deductible contributions from businesses and individuals to make it possible to offer the full day's roster of events on July 4, 2021, beginning with the Flag Ceremony at Bel Air High School at 6:30 am, and ending with the fireworks over Rockfield Park at about 9:30 pm. The theme of this year's event is "Honoring Our Healthcare Heroes."
Other 4 July events include the Parade, which starts at 6 pm on Main Street in Bel Air, and many family-friendly competitions in the morning and early afternoon, including Horseshoe Toss, Watermelon Eating and "Uncle Sam Says."" A pancake breakfast is offered at Bel Air High School by the Bel Air High School Boosters.
A complete schedule of July 4 events may be found here. Complimentary programs with maps, schedules and more information will be distributed free of charge at many Bel Air-area businesses, beginning on or about June 23.
Anyone wishing to donate to the celebration should visit the Sponsors page — contributions may be made directly from that page using PayPal or any major credit card, and a list of available specific sponsorships is also given.
"We thank in advance those caring and community-aware businesses, families and individuals who help us honor our country and our Town by means of their donations," Blum states. "With twenty bands (so far) booked to perform in the 2018 parade, we're really looking for band sponsors!" Blum adds.
Parade applications must be made on line, and the Application Fee, if required, may be paid on-line using PayPal or any major credit card.
