Liberty & Lights: Celebrate Independence Day in Girard!
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.

Through strong partnerships with the Girard Area Chamber of Commerce, the City of Girard, and various community organizations, we aim to be a leading example of collaboration and creativity, ensuring that every event we host contributes to Girard, KS's social and economic vitality.
Bringing the Community Together
We are a dedicated group of volunteers working to bring exciting and engaging events to our community! From festivals and parades to seasonal celebrations, our goal is to create memorable experiences that bring people together and support local businesses.
While we work closely with the City of Girard and the Girard Area Chamber of Commerce, we are a separate committee. The Chamber helps oversee and house our bank accounts, but we operate independently, driven by community support and volunteer efforts.
Want to get involved? We’re always looking for passionate individuals to help us make Girard’s events even better!
