Delaware is cancelled
Thanks for letting us know. It was still listed on their website but someone else commented on Facebook so it seems like Delaware hasn’t updated their website. We have removed Delaware from our post.
Just FYI, Hilliard parade is on Mon the 4th, the link in your article is for the festivities for last year. Here is the link for 2022 https://hilliardohio.gov/country-star-dylan-scott-to-perform-at-freedom-fest/
Thank you!
I can’t wait! I’ll be set up in Worthington. Thank you for sharing the schedule!
