The City of Pella celebrated Independence Day throughout the community.
The morning started with fishing at Caldwell Park and food stands, inflatables, and games in Central Park. The annual parade down Franklin Street included full crowds and dozens of entries representing the area. Swimming was held on a hot afternoon at the Pella Aquatic Center, the Pella City Band performed on the Tulip Toren, and fireworks ended the festivities at Madison Elementary.
The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio participated in the Pella parade.
