The City of Show Low will mark the Fourth of July with a parade followed by family activities at Frontier Field and Freedom Fest at Show Low High School, organizers said. Freedom Fest is scheduled from 3 to 9 p.m., with fireworks set to begin at 9 p.m., weather permitting.
Chris Bennett, who identified himself as a host from “cute country, 92 fives, The Morning Brew,” said the parade will lead participants to Frontier Field and the splash zone, where attendees can cool off after the procession. "It's always a fun event at the parade for the Fourth of July," Bennett said.
The announcement said the post-parade activities at Frontier Field will include the splash zone and appearances by the fire department. Freedom Fest at the high school will offer bands, kids' events and food trucks. Organizers repeated that the evening's fireworks depend on weather conditions and will take place at 9 p.m.
Grace Payne, identified in the announcement as representing the City of Show Low, was named as a co-host of the event. The recorded promotion urged families to attend for music, food and fireworks, and emphasized that the schedule is subject to weather.
The brief announcement did not specify parade start time, permit details, or safety and parking arrangements. Those details were not provided in the recording.
