Annual July 4th festival returning to downtown Milton

The Milton Chamber of Commerce recently announced the annual July 4th festival known as Bring Mayberry Back to Milton will be back at Milton Memorial Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday, July 4.

This family-friendly festival was canceled two years in a row due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so organizers are thrilled to be bringing it back to Milton in 2022. This year, the numerous games and activities provided will be hosted by the Milton business community.

This festival is free for all to attend and will feature entertainment, food, games, dunk tanks, water balloon fights, pie-eating contests, train rides, and more! A highlight of festivals past, the Bike Decorating Contest and Parade, will also be back this year thanks to festival founders and sponsors Irish Eyes Restaurant & Pub. Other major sponsors and participants include Debbie Balick - The Holistic Life Coach, Avery Hall Insurance Solutions, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, and Jeanine O’Donnell - State Farm Insurance Agent.

For anyone seeking free, family-friendly activities for the kids before enjoying the beach town fireworks displays, Milton is the place to be Monday, July 4. Families and students also are invited to volunteer at the event  More information will be announced as details are finalized.
