Kernersville will be hosting a number of Independence Day celebrations and activities this week.
A parade presented by the Rotary Club of Kernersville is scheduled to begin Thursday at 9 a.m. at Kernersville Middle School, 512 Mountain Street. From there, participants will travel along Mountain Street to Broad Street, where the parade will end at Pinnacle Bank.
Spectators will not be permitted to park at the school and viewing areas along the parade route will be available on a first come, first served basis.
Road closures in the area could begin as early as 6:30 a.m. to accommodate those taking part in the 5K and fun run just prior to the parade.
Directly after the parade ends, VFW Post 5352 will host a BBQ fundraiser with proceeds benefiting downtown diner Fitz on Main, which sustained extensive damage from a fire earlier this year. This event will be held at the post, 618 Edgewood Street.
The town’s Fourth of July festivities will conclude where they began with a concert and fireworks display at the Raiders football field adjacent to Kernersville Middle School. Gates open at 5 p.m. and the Special Occasion Band is scheduled to perform. Vendors will also be on hand with a variety of food options available throughout the event.
