This year's celebration, which encompasses 57 acres surrounding City Hall and the George W.

Food trucks are also expected to be available near activities held at the library, City Tower and Grease Monkey. The fireworks display, which lasts about 20 minutes, is scheduled to start at 9:50 p.m. and will be set to music on 95.9 The Ranch FM. Fireworks will be shot from the roof of City Tower, which is located east of City Hall.

Arlington Independence Day Parade

Light Up Arlington isn't the only way to celebrate Independence Day and show your patriotism in The American Dream City. Head on back to Downtown on Monday, July 4, 2022 for the beloved Arlington Independence Day Parade, which started in 1965 and is billed as the oldest, longest running event in the city. Be sure to arrive early for the parade, which kicks off at 9 a.m. Each year, tens of thousands of people line the streets to watch the colorful floats, antique cars, marching bands, unicyclists and other parade entries wind through Downtown. The theme for this year's parade is “E Pluribus Unum - Out of Many, One,” which is a traditional United States motto adopted by Congress in 1782.  Parade organizers said the theme was chosen for many reasons, but most importantly, because we are a nation of many peoples and backgrounds, but we are all one as Americans.
