Independence Day concert and fireworks

The Gilbert Reese Family Foundation, Central Ohio Technical College (COTC), The Ohio State University at Newark, the Gilbert Reese Family Foundation and our community sponsors invite the public to join us for a fun-filled evening of music and entertainment. 

Bring your lawn chairs and blankets, sit back, and enjoy live music from local bands. This year's performers include The Licking County 4-H Band, The Sticks and Stones, and the Heisey Wind Ensemble. Over 15 local food vendors and trucks will be stationed around campus, offering various food, treats and beverages. The evening will conclude with an awe-inspiring fireworks display.
