Girard Events is a dedicated group of volunteers committed to bringing the community of Girard, KS, together through vibrant and engaging events.
Liberty & Lights is Girard’s annual Independence Day celebration, held each year on July 1st. This beloved community tradition brings friends, families, and neighbors together to celebrate America’s birthday with an evening full of patriotic fun and small-town charm.
Hosted by Girard Events, Liberty & Lights kicks off at 6:00 PM and continues into the evening with something for everyone—kids' games, music, a Hot Dog Eating Contest, Watermelon Feed, and more.
The celebration concludes with a breathtaking fireworks display that lights up the night sky. This free, family-friendly event is a highlight of the summer in Girard and proudly reflects our community spirit and love for our country. Whether you’re a long-time resident or a first-time visitor, Liberty & Lights offers the perfect way to celebrate Independence Day in true hometown style.
Come for the fun. Stay for the fireworks. Celebrate with Girard.
