Grandpa’s Fourth

Going old fashioned in Steilacoom

Email Article Print Article Share on Facebook Share on Reddit Share on StumbleUpon

Some people like to celebrate the Fourth drinking a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon, munching a bag of pork rinds and getting a tattoo of the American Flag on their nether regions. But if drunken debauchery and in-your-face patriotism seem a little too much for you, check out Old Fashioned Fourth of July in Steilacoom. Here you’ll take in a 9 a.m. fun run, street fair, 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. ice cream socials, museum tours, an old-fashioned parade at 1 p.m., street dance at night and fireworks around 10:30 p.m. 



I doubt the town leaders have any strange tattoos but don’t take my word for it; go see for yourself at this wholesome, family-oriented Fourth of July celebration.



[Town of Steilacoom, Saturday, July 4, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., free, www.steilacoom.org]
