Freedom Festival

Here are some photos I got to snap while parading with pups!

Cedar Rapids will be a buzz of activity Saturday, Sunday, and on the 4th of July. Here's everything you need to know on what's happening where and what streets to avoid.

The annual Celebration of Freedom Fireworks lit up the Cedar River Saturday night following the Thomas Dostal Developers Freedom Festival Concert. Check out some of our pictures of the fireworks.

A Thousand Horses brought a stable of southern rock tunes to the McGrath Amphitheater last night during the KHAK/Thomas Dostal Developers Freedom Festival concert. I was standing stage right as a "worker" for the show and checked out their groove...

A variety of events throughout the Cedar Rapids metro area will result in changes to traffic patterns, especially downtown.

Green Square Park in downtown Cedar Rapids is in the midst of a well-publicized reconstruction which has forced a major change in the route for this Saturday's Freedom Festival Parade.

It's less than a month away from the Thomas Dostal Developers Freedom Festival Concert on Saturday, July 4th at the McGrath Amphitheatre in downtown Cedar Rapids. With incredible national acts like Eric Paslay, A Thousand Horses, Chuck Wicks, Logan Mize, and Natalie Stovall & The Drive, it's sure to be a show you won't want to miss.

We were told that when the Medallion Hunt ended, the Freedom Festival Schedule of Events would be released.  And since the Medallion was located earlier, and the winners were awarded today, the Freedom Fest crew has delivered the schedule to us.  Get ready for another amazing year, loaded with old favorites, and plenty of new things to look forward to.

The two mutually assured facets of life: Death and Taxes. One is due today. One is hopefully waaaaaay down the road for you, my friend. Payable On Death is a great band that combines both. But they abbreviate the name so you aren't startled...
