Join us this Friday for Arlington's Star Spangled Spectacular!! We'll kick off at 6pm with live music from Big Wheel and multiple food vendors. Then we'll light up the night with a fireworks display at 9:15pm.

So start gathering your picnic blankets and lawn chairs, even umbrellas and popup tents to beat the heat (but please take them down before the fireworks).

Coolers and picnic baskets are allowed (just no cooking or glass containers please for safety reasons). However, there will be some great food vendors on-site to visit, who all support our local sports groups.

Lastly - parking is limited, so plan ahead and walk, bike, or carpool if you can. Handicap parking will be available at the Sports Complex.
