The Historic Trust will commemorate the Declaration of Independence with a range of fun, new, in-person events for all ages.
On Sunday, July 3rd, 2022, the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site will be the location for the first Summer Fest. The Fort Vancouver National Historic Site will sparkle with a full day of activities aimed at families and people of all ages.
“The Trust’s partners are excited to welcome our community in Vancouver and Southwest Washington to this gorgeous park for smiles, laughter, wide-open spaces, as well as all of the movies, dancing, games, food, and music you might expect in July,” said Amy VanCamp, Events Director for The Historic Trust.
Free and open to all, Summer Fest attendees will feature two stages with live music and entertainment, games on the lawn, magicians, face painting, and more. Attendees can expect to ride in military vehicles for historical tours, timely tunes from local musicians, and an abundance of lawn games—including a corn hole tournament—as well as a “Movie in the Park” – The Sandlot – at dusk. Bring a picnic or purchase some of the tastiest of food from local vendors, along with beer and cider tastings for those 21 and over in the beer garden behind the historic Grant House.
Summer Fest will kick off at 11 am, Sunday, July 3rd, and continue throughout the movie screening at dusk.
