Fourth of July Events in Ward 1
Celebrate the Nation’s birthday at the annual Ward 1 July 4th weekend of events at the renovated Green Street Park (corner of Green, Wadsworth and Madison Streets). This fun-filled family event starts with an outdoor movie on Friday, July 3rd beginning at 8 pm. So bring your lawn chairs and blankets and we’ll supply the popcorn and drinks.
Our traditional event of games and rides will be held the following morning on Saturday, July 4th from 9 am - 1 pm. (rain or shine). Music will be provided by Malden’s own DJ Paulie B. There will be contests, including Little Mr. and Miss Ward One, Best Decorated Bicycle, and Most Patriotic. Also, raffles for movie passes, boy’s and girl’s bicycles, New England Patriots tickets, and a barbeque lunch will be part of the weekend events.
In keeping with tradition, all residents are welcome to have their grievances heard by dunking Councillor Christenson who will be dressed in his customary suit for the occasion. Also, for those students who received a bad grade from Ferryway School Sixth Grade Teacher Tim Rufo, he too will be making an appearance in the dunk tank.
Volunteers are needed. If interested, please call Carol Ann at 508-494-2597 or come to the park at 8 am ready to work on July 3rd and/or 4th. If you are also interested in helping to support these and other Ward 1 events, please mail contributions in care of the Ward 1 Neighborhood Fund to 21 Oxford Street, Malden. We would also welcome any items that could be used for raffle prizes. Thank you!
