Woodland 4th of July Celebration Canceled
The City of Woodland announced today it has canceled the annual City Fourth of July festivities because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to anticipated social distancing requirements and other requirements related to large group gatherings, the City of Woodland has made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Fourth of July celebration.
Canceled 4th of July activities include the annual Woodland Professional Firefighters’ Pancake Breakfast, Bike Parade, Senior Center Ice Cream Social, Swim Fest, and the Fireworks Celebration at Woodland High School.
“The 4th of July festivities are one of the City’s biggest holiday celebrations of the year. From sunup to sundown the City supports events for everyone. Unfortunately, it was a decision that had to be made in this current environment of uncertainty. Your safety is our number one concern. The City would like to recognize our many standing supporters, partners and sponsors of this annual event. Next year we hope to bring the event back with ideas to make it bigger and better". Rich Lansburgh City of Woodland Mayor.
