Celebrating our Independence on the 4th of July is one of our most cherished shared traditions. An important part of that tradition is that we all celebrate together. If this year’s celebrations went on as originally scheduled, many in our community would be excluded. The Burleson Lions Club and City of Burleson have decided to postpone the 4th of July parade and fireworks until we can celebrate as we should--together. The new tentative date is the Saturday before Veteran’s Day. We share in disappointment that we will not be having the parade and fireworks on the 4th of July, and we ask that everyone continues to mask up and maintain social distance. We look forward to a time when our entire community can come together to celebrate freedom by honoring those who make freedom possible for us.
