Orem part of Independence Day festivities
The 34th American Freedom Festival is being planned for three days in July. Events include Balloon Fest, Cries of Freedom and the Colonial Heritage Festival.
Balloon Fest will take place from 6:00 am until 8:00 am every morning of the festival at Bulldog Field, 1100 N. Freedom Blvd, Provo. Over 25,000 people are expected to turn out to watch about 25 giant balloons fly. Everyone can stroll around the balloons during inflation and watch the Hare and Hound competition.
Photographers often take colorful pictures of the balloon as events such as this. Many times, they take the pictures to local stationery printers and have them made into notecards and postcards.
Educational and inspirational activities will take place at the Cries of Freedom Musical. Guests can view depictions of America’s fight for freedom. Rare antiquities will be on display. Among other activities there will be the Walk of Honor, Ellis Island information and attendees can take the Oath of Citizenship. The event will begin at noon every day at SCERA Center or the Arts, 745 S. State Street here in Orem.
Colonial Heritage Festival will also run during the three days in Orem in SCERA Park, 600 S. State St. in Orem. The park will be turned into a colonial village with shops, frontier life, games, military demonstrations, and a pillory.
