Happy Birthday America

Happy Birthday America invites you to Gypsy Hill Park for a family-friendly three-day event from July 2nd to July 4th, 2023. This event is FREE and filled with music, food, fun, a parade, a Beauty Pageant, a Vesper service, a Country Music show, and some end-the-night-light-up-the-sky fireworks.

Happy Birthday America, which is centered around giving back to the community as well as remembering and celebrating America’s favorite holiday, was started in 1970 by Staunton’s favorite sons, The Statler Brothers. Second-generation country music duo Wilson Fairchild now headlines the event with their show, on the night of the 4th, with their special music guest, Grand Ole Opry member and Country Music legend Gene Watson. The presenting sponsors are First Bank and Charlie Obaugh Auto Group.
