I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore. More than 80 years of tradition and 30 different events spanning the months of May through July, make America's Freedom Festival at Provo one of the largest annual Independence Day Celebrations in America. Events are overseen by a volunteer board of trustees, volunteer executive committee and volunteer event chairs as well as by literally thousands of other volunteers in the community.
Most events are free to the public.
