On July 4th 2022, the Charles N. DeGlopper Memorial VFW Post 9249 and auxiliaries are teaming up once again to bring to Grand Island our annual celebration.  Admission to the event is free.   The Post have food booths from local restaurants, hot dogs, burgers, ice cream,  along with serving pop and water throughout the day.  We will have a beer tent and live music for adults.  Somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000 people will come to our grounds and enjoy the festivities we have planned. The party will begin following the Town’s parade along Grand Island Blvd. and continue through out the afternoon until 6:00 p.m.  Friends, relatives, alumni and visitors to Grand Island will be participating. There will be free kids activities including a bounce house, games,  petting zoo,  pony rides and character visits.  

Our annual Independence Day Celebration is our largest fundraiser of the year.  We will have various raffles throughout the day to fundraise.  Our goal is to put on a fantastic community event while also raising funds to support Veterans.
