Last year, over 25,000 people attended the festivities, and it is looking to grow this year.

The sheer number of various festivities, including a parade, a golf tournament, all kinds of food, and even a race of thousands of little rubber ducks, will be sure to have something for everyone.

The festivities kick off Friday night with a live concert by The Kennydales, followed by a drone show by Sky Elements.
