The mayor mentioned the eclectic lineup at the concert at Cedar Brook Park, which kept diverse groups of Plainfield residents moving to a variety of beats before an impressive display of fireworks.

"It was a two-day celebration for the history books in the Queen City," concluded the mayor.

"This year's festivities—including the parade, concert, fireworks, and the photo exhibition—truly highlight the vibrant spirit and unity of our city. These events not only provide a wonderful opportunity for us to come together in celebration but also to reflect on the values and freedoms that make our nation great."

Councilor Hockaday encourages Plainfield residents to visit the 4th of July Parade photo exhibition, which will remain until September 28th in the Anne Louse Davis Room of the Plainfield Public Library.
