Auburn celebrated the Fourth of July Festival with an old-fashioned, hometown celebration at Les Gove Park on Wednesday.

The festival offered a Kids’ Bike Parade, more than 50 craft vendors, games, activities, a food court, live entertainment and a large car show.

The Aerial Assault Extreme Entertainment (AAEE) team performed gravity-defying.

The City of Auburn and the Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department – with support from sponsors – presented the festival.
