Since 1868, the community of Seward, Nebraska, has honored and celebrated the anniversary of the United States. Rich in community history, this celebration has grown to state and national attention, emphasizing the total community effort. This example of “small town” America celebrating as it has for over 150 years will again happen on July 4, 2019, and we invite you to share this day with us, if not in person, at least in spirit! Named Nebraska’s Best Festival 2015 and 2016! We received the top award in 2005, 2006 and 2007, three years in a row - a three-peat, and were a finalist in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2017. Recently named one of America’s Top Ten Fourth of July Celebrations and recipient of the 2019 George Washington Honor Medal - Freedom’s Foundation at Valley Forge.
