The fun starts at 7 p.m. on July 3rd at Hudson Mills Metropark with a concert by Big Pinky and the Joint Effort Band. Fireworks start at 10 p.m. Come early because the Park entrance gate will close to incoming traffic at 9 pm.

The 21st annual Ann Arbor Jaycees Parade will kick-off at 10 a.m. on the 4th of July at State and William. Don't forget to take the kids down early for the Bike Decorating Contest.

There will be no trash, recycling, or compost trucks on the roads on Independence Day, Monday, July 4th. Solid waste routes will be collected one day later throughout the week, with the normal Monday routes serviced on Tuesday and the Friday collection areas picked up on Saturday, July 9. Ann Arbor City Hall offices, the 15th District Court in the Justice Center, the Wheeler Service Center, and other city locations will be closed on the holiday Monday.
