Block Party and Parade


Don't forget. The Fairborn Block Party will be held on Saturday, July 3rd starting at 4pm. Bands will be performing on many stages. Main Street at Central will be blocked off. Parking is difficult so get there early. Vendors, churches, downtown businesses will all be there. Oh yea, I forgot the food! Lots of food. There will be a few rides for the kids, the Cub Scouts normally have a dunking booth, which is great during a hot evening. If you are new to Fairborn, this is a must attend. A great family event. I hope to see you there.


Sunday at 2pm the Annual July 4th parade will be held. There will be over 100 floats to see. This is one of the longest running parades in the area. Now, normally the parade is held at 10am. This year it is later in the afternoon due to people attending church. The Fairborn Government Channel always video tapes it and airs it many times during the summer, then again in the heart of the winter, for those who like to complain about the cold and snow! LOL!!

I have to say the best seats are across from the reviewing stand and in that general area. Foy's is open, or at least it has been in the past, during the parade and for a while after. Not sure what other businesses are open. A good time is always had by all. I hope to see you there.
