Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird invites community members to the City’s free Uncle Sam Jam Independence Day Celebration Thursday, July 3, at Haymarket Park, 403 Line Drive Circle.
The ballpark opens at 6 p.m., live music starts at 7:15 p.m., the flag lowering ceremony is at 8:20 p.m., and the fireworks display will begin at 10 p.m.
Soul Dawg, a horn-driven, funk rock band will perform at 7:15 and 8:30 p.m. The group’s dynamic sound is fueled by a seven-piece lineup of area music veterans. They play high-energy dance hits from bands such as Earth, Wind and Fire, Parliament, James Brown, and Stevie Wonder.
The fireworks display is sponsored by Pepsi-Cola of Lincoln and presented by Lantis Fireworks. The show will be set to music provided by NRG Media/Broadcast House and broadcast in the ballpark. Haymarket Park and the Saltdogs, the event’s venue sponsor, is generously providing the space for this year’s celebration. Food and drink, including alcohol, will be available for purchase from Haymarket Park concessions.
Haymarket Park can accommodate up to 8,500 guests for this event. Once capacity is reached, entry to the ballpark will close. Guests are also welcome to enjoy the fireworks show from surrounding parking lots, where food and non-alcoholic beverages are permitted.
