Treestock Independence Day Celebration

A small-town celebration of freedom the way George Washington intended. Complete with live music, food trucks, cornhole , and an hour-long fireworks extravaganza of, yes, extravagant proportions! We are turning our traditional one-day Independence Day Celebration into a weekend event not to be missed!
