The Fourth of July is all about friendly competition this year in Old Town Manassas. At its Celebrate America bash on July 4, which unfolds less than half a mile away from The The Courts at Historic Manassas, guests have plenty of opportunities to face off against friends. Enter your best confection in the Apple and Peach Pie Contest. Test the size of your stomach in the Watermelon Eating Contest. Or show off your creativity in the Bicycle Decorating Contest. You can also simply serve as a spectator at any of the contests, cheering on your favorite participant.
In addition to the competitions, Celebrate America also hosts kid-friendly rides, many food vendors, and local artisans selling their wares. But the crowning jewel of the day is the fireworks display, which kicks off at 9:15 p.m. Load up your lawn chairs and blankets early so that you can snag a front row seat on the Manassas Museum Lawn.
