Treestock Independence Day Celebration

June 29th - 30th, 2024

MUSIC - FIREWORKS - FAMILY FUN

A small-town celebration of freedom the way George Washington intended. Complete with live music, food trucks, cornhole , and an hour-long fireworks extravaganza of, yes, extravagant proportions! We are turning our traditional one-day Independence Day Celebration into a weekend event not to be missed! If you are not from around here, we recommend getting a room for the weekend; you’re going to want to stay.
