On this holiday, soldiers would celebrate by firing their rifles and cannons, eating a special meal with friends and civilians, and flying their flags proudly.
Starting at 9 a.m., Fort D will host an Independence Day gathering. Everyone is welcome at this historic site. Please come join the citizens of Cape Girardeau as we recognize this holiday and local monument.
A firework display will be held at Arena Park at 9 p.m. Through generous community donations, volunteers have coordinated the show following the presentation of the Spirit of America Award.
Will there be a demo derby
Sorry, no derby this year.
