Bloomington's Summer Fete kicks off Independence Day with fun and festivities. It's held on July 3rd at Normandale Lake Park, and it's hosted by the city. The fete starts with a Carnival with two stages--one for kids and the main stage. For the kids, there will be inflatable buildings for bouncy fun as well as a DJ dance party. There will be other musical performances as well to keep the kids busy and happy, and musical performances on the mains stage for the adults. There will be plenty of food, too, and a family sandcastle building competition. The fete ends with fireworks at dusk, which will send everyone home with a smile on their faces.
