With the Fourth of July coming up quickly, most of us already have
evening plans to watch fireworks, eat BBQ and crack open a cold brewski
with friends and family. From Springfield’s Light of Liberty Celebration in
Island Park (200 W. B Street) to the Eugene Pro Rodeo, the area has a lot
to offer as far as destinations to watch fireworks (check out our Summer
Guide for more on July 4 firework spots). If you have an open schedule
in the daytime, though, there are still a ton of Fourth of July activities to
partake in. Get out and get active with GEARs Bicycle Club for their tradi-
tional ride to the Fourth of July Parade in Harrisburg. The bike ride starts
at 9 am from Alton Baker Park. It’s FREE and open to everyone. Another
option to get outside before it gets too hot is the Fourth of July Butterfly
Count. Join Oregon’s Chapter of the North American Butterfly Association
to view the different kinds of butterflies and dragonflies at Mount Pisgah
Arboretum, East Buford Park, the West Eugene Wetlands and Spencer
Butte. Meet at 10 am at the Campbell Community Center parking lot (155
High Street) to carpool. It’s $5 per person and $8 per family. The Art and
the Vineyard Festival will be taking place July 2-4 in Alton Baker Park with
a ton of daytime activities for all ages, including live music. On the Fourth,
there will be musical performances all day, from 12:30 pm until fireworks
at dusk, including local acts: Zac Wolfe Band and Gumbo Groove, among
others. If you’re looking to get your live music fix a day before the Fourth,
ARRIVAL, an ABBA cover band from Sweden, will be performing at Art
and the Vineyard on Monday, July 3. Tickets to Art and The Vineyard are
$25 for a three-day pass, $10 for one-day admission for those 15 years
and older, $5 for ages 6-14 and FREE for kids 5 and under. VIP reserved
seating tickets for ARRIVAL are $35. — Meerah Powell
