For over 50 years, Lacey has celebrated the holiday a day early with Fireworks, Food, Music, and Fun!
The Coats – 5pm
The Northwest’s Favorite Vocal Band
The Coats vocal band started on the street corners of Seattle, Washington’s famous Pike Place Market. Singing for tourists, locals, fish vendors, and fellow buskers, their humble ambitions of earning a few clams to fight off the tuition bills quickly evolved into a full-time international performance career. They’ve since won national vocal competitions, sang for the President of the United States, and have shared the stage with such talented fellow entertainers as Ronnie Milsap, Trisha Yearwood, Montgomery Gentry, The Beach Boys, Tanya Tucker, Billy Dean, Crystal Gayle, and Colin Ray, just to name a few, all while continuing their tradition of outreach performances and workshops supporting music in schools throughout the northwest.
Groove Nation – 8pm
The Pacific Northwest’s Premier Band
The Groove Nation Band is an electrifying band featuring 3 great exceptionally dynamic front line vocalists, Virginia, JT Santos, and Jason Silverman.
Groove Nation performances blend elements of popular timeless and recognizable musical genres from current hits, R&B, Motown, Funk, Classic Rock, retro 70’s & 80’s, Disco and Latin.
Whether entertaining an intimate private event or thrilling a crowd at a festival, Casino, or large corporate events, Groove Nation delivers an energetic, musically exciting and dynamic show!
Wings Aerial Acrobats
Aerial and Cirque Performance
We’re a group of athletes who became friends through love of aerial.
