Vienna will celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary with a parade, naturalization ceremony, fireworks and other community events during the sixth annual Liberty Amendments Month.

The festivities begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 13, with Vienna’s second Liberty Amendments Month parade. The procession will travel along Maple Avenue to Nutley Street before ending at the Juneteenth festival at First Baptist Church, 450 Orchard St. NW.

Running until 3 p.m., the festival will offer live music, food trucks, a fashion show, children’s entertainment, a mobile video game truck, bounce houses, a petting zoo and voter registration.

Fifteen foreign-born residents will take the Oath of Allegiance and become U.S. citizens during a naturalization ceremony Saturday, June 27, at the Vienna Community Center, 120 Cherry St. S. Family entertainment starts at 3:30 p.m., followed by the ceremony at 5 p.m. The public may attend and welcome the new citizens.

Vienna’s Independence Day celebration is scheduled for 6-10 p.m. Thursday, July 2, at Yeonas Park. The evening will feature live music, children’s entertainment, food trucks and concessions. A 15-minute fireworks show begins at 9:30 p.m., and attendees may bring chairs or picnic blankets.

The celebration will recognize the 13th, 14th, 15th and 19th amendments—collectively known as the Liberty Amendments—as well as the country’s 250th anniversary.

On Saturday, July 4, community members will take turns reading portions of the nation’s foundational documents. The public reading begins at 11 a.m. at the Vienna Community Center.
