Oronoco Bay Park will host an Independence Day and birthday celebration of Alexandria.
The nation will be 244 and Alexandria will be 271 years old. There will be cupcakes and fireworks in the evening. The park has a field where guests can place blankets or lawn chairs. Vendors will serve hot and cold food. Pets, tents, oversized umbrellas, and grills are prohibited. The City stage will be the meeting spot for families who become separated.
