This is also the day people can enjoy the Americana Concert, held in Stubbs Park following the Flag Ceremony, which takes place at 7:00 pm. The Centerville Community Band and Chorus will perform.
The following day begins with the Centerville Noon Optimist Club once again the host of the Up and Running, Americana 5K Run/Walk. The race will be chip timed, and will begin at 7:30 am. Participants must to there by 7:00 am.
After that will be the parade, which starts at 10:00 am on East Franklin Street. From there, it will head west to Cline Elementary School. Over 120 units will take part.
The Auto Show is also set for the festival’s second day, as is the Street Fair, where people will find more than 300 vendors, including food trucks. Organizers can enhance events like this by using flyer printing to create schedules for attendees.
