Thank you to all 6,700 of you who came out to the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center to celebrate the 4th of July with us!

And a big shout out to all our fantastic sponsors who make this awesome community event free and fun for everyone.  With their support, we are able to bring the kinds of big-name activities and cutting-edge prizes to our Redmond 4th of July that other events would charge big bucks to enjoy.  Your commitment to Redmond families makes our event a day to remember every year.

Scroll through this gallery to see all the dedicated sponsors and the activities they brought to our celebration this year:

RAPRD Executive Director Katie Hammer was thrilled with this year's event.  "The 2018 Old Fashioned July 4th Celebration was the best one yet," she said.  "I am excited to see the growth of the event over the past seven years and all of us at RAPRD look forward to this event that allows families to have a day of fun for no cost.  It is fun to see the smiling faces of kids when they are on a bounce house, riding the train, participating in the contests and the other many activities that are offered."

"We have a rewarding partnership with the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center along with our many sponsors who make this event possible," Hammer added.
