Happy 247th Birthday, America!

July 7, 2023 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Halifax’s traditional July 4th fireworks display lit the skies Saturday, July 1, to the delight of all. The family- friendly fun began at 11 a.m. with kids’ games, face painting, dunk tank, corn hole, cookie decorating, and the hula hoop competition.
The evening events began at 5 p.m. with food trucks helping to feed everyone, and more music kept the tempo upbeat for the party.

Balloon animals, face painting, t-shirt sales, all led up to the main event – the fireworks. The nearly full moon watched over the events which went off without a hitch.
The majority of the expense of the fireworks was borne by contributions from Flower and Soul cannabis dispensary and MacDonald Industries, both of Halifax.
