July 4th

"Enjoy The Crunch" is the theme for this year's 4th of July Celebration in Swanny City Park! In these times of economic "Crunch" you are invited to "Enjoy the Crunch" at our annual 4th of July celebration sponsored by the Moab Area Chamber of Commerce. Come "crunch" on juicy watermelon during our FREE watermelon eating contest, fresh popcorn and many other "crunchy" treats! We have opened up to vendors this year which gives them another opportunity to showcase their items here in Moab. . We have community bands, dancers and cheer groups who will be performing throughout the afternoon of the 4th. The dunk tank will be there as a fund-raiser for GCHS Football. Come dunk your favorite local celebrity and help the football team raise some much needed funding at the same time! We will also have the bounce house as a vendor this year! With these and several Chamber sponsored FREE game booths such as balloon darts, ring toss, bean bag throw and fish pond, it promises to be lots of fun!
