The Atherton and Woodruff Wards will celebrate Independence Day on Saturday, July 3, at the Atherton building, located at 6500 E. Atherton St., Long Beach.

The celebration will begin at 9 a.m. with a flag raising, followed by patriotic music, an inspirational speaker, potluck breakfast and a decorated bicycle parade. This is a great opportunity to invite friends, work colleagues and neighbors to join in honoring America’s Declaration of Independence 245 years ago.
