Monroe will hold its first (possibly annual) 4th of July Celebration at the Monroe Community Park.
A dedicated group of volunteers has been working hard for the last several months to bring a community festival back to Monroe. Local residents and businesses have been very generous in helping the committee fund the festival and fireworks.
This will be an excellent opportunity to meet your neighbors and have some fun in a family-friendly atmosphere close to home this holiday.
The festivities begin at 5:00 with a parade from the Kroger parking lot, down Macready and Main Street and into the park.

Planning for a 4th of July parade and city event are now in the planning stages. If you would like to help or participate in the parade or with the event, please contact Angela Wasson at 539-7374. You may also email questions or suggestions to cityhall@monroeohio.org
