Morgan Hill’s 4th of July Parade is
legendary and is but one element of the
week- long Freedom Fest Celebrations.
Residents and visitors alike enjoy the
July 3rd Patriotic Sing at the Downtown
Amphitheater followed by a massive street
dance on Monterey Road that evening.
After resting up in the wee hours of the
3rd, folks are back out to enjoy the down-
town parade on the 4th. Later in the day
everyone migrates to the Outdoor Sports
Complex for a fireworks display after dark.
There is much more to learn about these
and other special events that week, so
please check out the organizers’ website at
MorganHillFreedomFest.com.
Mushroom Mardi Gras
Morgan Hill’s Mushroom Mardi Gras festival will be celebrating it’s 37th
year of continuous operation this year. The organizers (mhmmg.org) have
big plans for this year’s event, and participant entry is still free. The two-
day festival of family fun includes live entertainment on two stages, arts
and crafts, gourmet offerings, mushroom education, strolling musicians,
street performers, and several city blocks of unique booths. For chil-
dren, Munchkinland captivates kids with rides, games and continuous
entertainment. The festival raises funds for educational scholarships, which
are granted annually and provide an opportunity for many local non-profit
organizations, clubs and schools to create awareness of their cause.
