Directly across from the courthouse will be face painting, a La Cabana food stand, popsicles, balloon artistry and caricatures. A mega obstacle course for kids will be set up in the middle of the street in the 300 block of Main, which is in front of the courthouse.

Three food trucks and a hot dog stand will be stationed near all four corners of Third and Main. The dunk tank will be set up this year near the southwest corner of Third and Main in the area of Miller-Donnelli Insurance Agency.

The city again this year will pick up the tab on meal options from multiple food trucks and a downtown restaurant that will have an outside offering that day.

Food trucks with free food options at the downtown celebration will include Big Daddy and Sons BBQ, Jadabay’s Tasty Kitchen, and Highway 92 Food Service. In addition, free food options courtesy of the city will be available from a hot dog stand operated by Boy Scout Troop 1351 and from La Cabana, the Mexican restaurant located on Main.

Menus for the free food options will include:

La Cabana: 3 soft tacos plus chips and salsa; or 3 hard tacos plus chips and salsa; or taco salad plus chips and salsa (beef or chicken with lettuce, tomato and cheese).

FIREWORKS

The city’s fireworks show will begin at 10 p.m. The fireworks display will take place at the campus of Platte County R-3 School District along Hwy. 92. There will be no stadium seating available, however, due to ongoing construction at the school.

There are many optional viewing locations. Some of the closer, more popular viewing spots might be Hillcrest Thrift Shop, Platte Valley Park, the Mid-Continent Library parking lot, the YMCA parking lot, Price Chopper, Platte County High School parking area, Platte City Middle School parking areas, as well as parking lots at Siegrist Elementary School and Compass Elementary School.
