Council Bluffs Celebrates 250: Drone Show, Community Festival
Get ready to celebrate America in historic fashion! The Hundred Block Community Collective will host Council Bluffs Celebrates 250, a free community celebration that will take over the Historic 100 Block of West Broadway. Kicking off the Independence Day weekend a day early on July 3, this high-energy street festival will bring together neighbors, visitors and families for an unforgettable night of live music, delicious food, local vendors and family-focused fun.
The Kid Zone, hosted in partnership with American Legion Post 2, will be packed with free activities to keep the youngest celebrators entertained all afternoon and evening. DJ JPEG will keep the energy high with family-friendly music, while a hydrant party will offer a refreshing, neighborhood-favorite splash zone to cool off. There will be face painting, balloon art, sidewalk chalk stations and a variety of engaging yard games and sports.
The Family Zone & Community Hub, located near Park and Glen avenues, will bring together prominent local organizations that offer resources, activities and community connections. The event will include Habitat for Humanity, PACE (Pottawattamie Arts, Culture & Entertainment), Veterans Services Office and Council Bluffs Public Library.
Guests can enjoy food, drinks and shopping from local businesses and vendors that include Meadow & Charm Permanent Jewelry, Anytime Tees, Cox Communications, Boxer BBQ, Turner’s Tube Steaks, Fancy Sips, Spirit of The Faire, Bailey & Coopers, Barley’s, Caddy’s, Glory Days, B-Side Bar, Napoli’s, Dusted Charm and The Pizza Counter.
The grand finale at 9:45 p.m. will include a spectacular and synchronized drone show to illuminate downtown Council Bluffs and offer a cutting-edge visual tribute to America's 250th milestone.
