The festivities will commence with a parade at 4:30 p.m. on Friday near 4th and Kirby. A complete parade route is available here. Applegate will take the stage at 6 p.m., and the event will feature food, inflatables, and other fun activities.

“I am eager to perform for the community. My family has been in the Champaign-Urbana area for a long time; they have a background in crop farming,” Applegate shared. “It is exciting to connect with my hometown roots, perform for the local crowd, and celebrate the Fourth of July.”
