4th of July Town Celebration

Join the community for New Harmony's annual Independence Day Celebration, proudly presented by the Friends of the Working Men's Institute in partnership with Historic New Harmony and the New Harmony Kiwanis.

This year's celebration begins at 10:00 a.m. at Murphy Auditorium, where guests will enjoy a patriotic program featuring keynote speaker Ryan Rockicki, a reading of the Declaration of Independence by Karen Moser, musical performances by the New Harmony Community Choir, and an Honor Guard presentation by the American Legion.

Following the ceremony, decorated golf carts will line up behind Murphy Auditorium on Steammill Street before parading through town to Maclure Park for the annual community picnic. A brief patriotic program featuring the American Legion Honor Guard will begin at 12:00 p.m., followed by live music from Bob Minnette & the Dixieland Society. The celebration concludes around 1:00 p.m., with picnic food available at the same prices as last year.

Bring your family, decorate your golf cart, and celebrate America's birthday with a morning of community, patriotism, music, and tradition in New Harmony.
