GREENVILLE — Kick off the Fourth of July weekend at Family Fest on Friday at the Darke County Fairgrounds. This free event begins at 1:30 pm and ends at 8:30 p.m.

The goal of Family Fest is to have a full day of free events such as games for the entire family, a guest speaker who will encourage families, information on hand to help families succeed and thrive, and a free meal for families to enjoy together. The EUM Worship Band and The Quest Band will also be performing.

The evening will end with the City of Greenville hosting a fireworks celebration at the fairgrounds.

“So be sure to bring your lawn chairs and blankets and prepare to spend the day at Family Fest, and end the evening with a bang,” said organizers.
