4 - Carnation 4th of July

After two years of the pandemic, we are happy to announce we are bringing back the Carnation 4th of July Celebration with all the activities people have grown to appreciate and expect with a few fun and exciting changes!!

We are partnering with Miller’s to kick off the festivities, the night before, on July 3rd with Massy Ferguson, a mix of rock/country twang band from 7-9:30PM. This is a free event with doors opening at 6PM. There will be food and beverages available at a cost. Space is limited.

The 5K “Run for the Pies” will be held once again at Remlinger Farms. We moved the run over to Remlingers last year, it was such a huge success that we have decide to keep it there. Please be sure to register ahead of time. The run begins at 8:30AM.

This year the parade will be in a new location. Since Tolt Ave. will still be under construction, the Kiddy and Grand Parades will be held on Stossel St. The Kiddy Parade will begin on the Corner of Blanche and Stossel (King Street), gather at Memorial Park between 10:30-10:55 the Kiddy Parade will begin at 11AM.  Everyone will head north on Stossel to E. Rutherford Street. The Grand Parade will begin at 11:30AM from and will head south on Stossel from E. Rutherford Street to Memorial Park.

Vendor Village will be on E. Bird Street. There will be food, craft, information, and retail booths.

The Hot Rods and Harley Show will be in the parking lot of Carnation Café and on E. Commercial Street.

Beer Garden, Live Music, Food, and Fireworks will all take place at Remlinger Farms. The Beer Garden will open at 4PM, Live Music starts at 5PM and the Fireworks Display will begin at 10:10PM. We are happy that Remlinger Farms is partnering with the Carnation 4th of July Committee to make this day special for ALL in the community. Parking is available, or you can walk the trail. We recommend you bring a flashlight for the walk back home after the fireworks. Please note we have nothing planned at Tolt MacDonald Park going forward.

The streets of Sultan come alive with a street fair, car and motorcycle show, parade, fireworks, live music, and the annual heart stopping-logging show in which loggers fly up poles, attack an obstacle course with a chainsaw, and throw axes. The Sky Valley has a rich and colorful logging history—and many of these competitors are still active in the industry.
