 The Independence Day weekend celebration in Brighton is Saturday with the Independence Day at the Park Festival. The celebration in Brighton begins at Schneider Park on Highway 267-111 with a fishing derby and casting contest at 8 a.m. and fireworks at dusk. Brighton trustee John Bramley tells the Big Z the family event includes some new activities this year. We also have open mic day this year, so from 1 o'clock until 7 o'clock.
