Calvert City’s Ameribration Celebration
Calvert City’s AmeriBration kicks off festivities on June 24 ending with the parade and fireworks celebrating Independence Day on July 5. The City of Calvert City encourages the region to make plans to attend the many events organized by local businesses and Calvert Area Development Association (CADA).
“AmeriBration is a long-standing tradition in Calvert City. Memorial Park is full of golf carts from residents, and many from our region. CADA organizes this event which is made up of residents and local businesses. Events like this couldn’t happen without the generosity of our volunteers,” said Blair Travis, director of marketing, communications, and business development for the City of Calvert City.
