Enumclaw's Stars & Stripes Celebration Set for July 4

The City of Enumclaw promises that the 13th Annual Stars & Stripes Celebration will be bigger and better!

Adding to Enumclaw’s Centennial Celebration, the day will start with a pancake breakfast at the Senior Activity Center from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., open house style.  

At 10:30 a.m., head up to City Hall for the amazing story, Walk of Fame dedication, and presentation of a Key to the City by Mayor Liz Reynolds, to WWII Veteran Ed Saylor, who was an airman in the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo.  

Saylor will also be the Grand Marshal of the historic parade down Cole Street beginning at noon.  

Following the parade, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., head to one, two, or hop back and forth from two stages featuring the Bands UC7 (Classic Rock) and Ragin’ River (Country). 

Dance it Up! will also be performing.  

The Rock Stage featuring UC7 will be located on Myrtle Avenue and Cole Street, where Rendezvous will also have a beer garden. While you're there, be sure to also check out the motorcycle show.  

The Country Stage will be located in the Chamber of Commerce parking lot, opening with Dance it Up! performances, followed by Ragin’ River, along with local food and drink vendors and a Classic Car Show!  

Just down the block, Sip City will be offering Fourth of July drink specials.
