The Freedom Festival Committee looks forward to welcoming area residents back to the Freedom Festival. This year it will be a two-day event in Avilla. The Freedom Festival will open on June 25 at 4:00 pm and culminate with live music downtown and fireworks show at dusk at Eley Park.
The Festival will host a variety of food vendors selling items ranging from pork burgers to nachos to Philly cheesesteaks. There will also be several craft vendors with varied merchandise. At 5:30 on Friday evening the East Noble Marching Knights will be performing at the main stage on East Albion Street.
