Cadillac’s Independence Day Celebration
The Cadillac Freedom Festival is held annually, in early July, in downtown Cadillac to celebrate our nation’s freedom and independence. Over several days, the festival brings together people from all around, celebrating food, fun, family, and even a little fitness. Some key events include the parade down main street, the 5k Race, Fire on Water – Military Tribute, classic car show & the Pork in the Park BBQ Competition!
The event culminates in spectacular fashion with a fireworks display directly over beautiful Lake Cadillac! You can learn more about the festival on their Facebook page.
