2:44 p.m., June 18, 2004--Celebrate the Fourth of July at Newark’s Liberty Day festivities from 4-9 p.m., at the UD Athletic Complex. Parking is available on campus and in DaimlerChrysler parking lot number 2.

The free event features food, crafts, community information and entertainment by local artists, including Maggie’s Farm, Special Delivery, the Honeycombs and the Juveniles.

The children’s area will offer games of skill and chance, inflatable fun and performances by Crash the Clown, the Juggling Hoffmans, Yosi, Peter Moses and Danny and Kim Adlerman.

Liberty Day, which has been a community event since 1976, will culminate in a fireworks display at dusk.
