The Summer Town Tour Part 2 kicks off with a bang with a stop at Wellman and Wayland for their 4th of July Celebrations! Below you’ll find all the info on the Wellman 4th, for the Wayland festivities find their event page on our Summer Town Tour page.
July 4th celebrations have been a tradition in Wellman for many years with people coming from near and far to experience Wellman’s parade, fireworks, and all day events.
The day starts off with a kiddies’ parade at 9:30 am on Main Street followed by the main parade at 10:00. Following the parade, various family fun events are held in the community downtown and North Park. The downtown Heritage museum is open for tours as well as historic buildings at the Heritage Park on 7th Avenue.
Celebration events move to the North Park after the parade to include bingo and miscellaneous children’s carnival games and lots of good food to eat.
Prior to the fireworks bring your lawn chair to North Park and enjoy listening to music from local musicians. Just after dusk expect a fantastic fireworks display (with many thanks to the Wellman Volunteer Fire Department for shooting off the fireworks show).
