4th of July! 

Independence Day celebrations in Bexley begin with the annual John Barr 5k, followed by the legendary parade, community celebration on Main Street, and a mesmerizing display of fireworks. You won't want to miss this one, because it's going to be a blast!

This year's celebrations bring more music, more excitement, and more fireworks than ever before. Whether you're running in the 5K, catching candy at the parade, hitting up a neighborhood block party, dancing to The Big Rockin' Blues Band, or "ooooohh" and "aaaahhhh"-ing at the fireworks, it's going to be a big day, Bexley! A huge thank you to the scores of volunteers that work year round to help plan and fundraise for these events and to Bexley Celebrations & Events at Bexley Community Foundation whose generous support makes the Fourth possible!
