A Note From our Board Chair and Executive Director
We love summer in Bexley! The Main Event, Jazz in the Park and 4th of July are some of our favorite community events! We hope to see you on the 4th either on the Parade route or at the evening activities. More information is below.
We look forward to seeing you around Bexley soon!

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!
Because of your generous donations, Bexley in Bloom is planting flowers in Bexley! Flower baskets, Drexel Circle, entryways, end caps and planters on Main Street and Drexel Avenue continue to keep Bexley beautiful!
Every Thursday from May through October you can find the Bexley Farmers' Market from 4-7pm on Dawson. Our Bexley community comes together to shop, socialize and support local growers. We hope to see you on Dawson on Thursdays!
