The Fourth of July is celebrated at Strawbery Banke in a manner unlike any other in America. It's a day of real old-fashioned festivities complete with a children's bike-and-wagon parade, traditional games and crafts, historic garden tours, live music, living history, hands-on activities, food and fun.

Strawbery Banke affords a wonderful opportunity to experience and imagine American life as it has evolved during the past four centuries. Its restored houses, its featured exhibits, its historic landscapes and gardens, and its interpretive programs reveal much about our ancestors and how they forged the America that we live in today.
