Crozet Independence Day parade, celebration, and fireworks are cancelled for 2020

May 11, 2020

Crozet Independence Day Celebration banner

The COVID-19 public health crisis has affected all our lives in so many ways, large and small. And the impact is going to be with us for months to come. How much longer no one really knows. The Crozet Independence Day Celebration committee met to discuss what to do about our community’s annual parade, celebration and fireworks this July.

Out of a sense of caution and a great deal of regret, we have decided to cancel this year’s Crozet Independence Day parade, celebration, and fireworks. Like you, we were looking forward to a return to “normal”, a chance to visit with family and friends and enjoy time together in Crozet Park, topped off with the wonderful fireworks. However, we think cancelling the event is the right thing to do for public safety and the well-being of all the residents and friends of Crozet.

In anticipation of better times ahead, we are already planning for our Crozet Independence Day Celebration next year, 2021, on Saturday, July 3.

For now, we ask you to continue to follow the advice of our health care professionals and wear a mask when you’re in public places, wash your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds or apply hand sanitizer after you have touched items or surfaces in public places, continue social distancing and stay home as much as you can.

Facility and Environmental Service Department has procured services with one of the County’s  term site contractors (Harbor Dredge and Dock) to complete the spillway repairs and the replacement of the overflow culvert pipes leading to the lower lake. In order to safely perform this work, Parks and Rec staff began the lowering the upper lake Tuesday March 3rd and the site contractor is schedule to start work Monday March 9th. Over the next three weeks the upper lake water level will be lowered and certain areas will be closed to the general public. The closed areas will be posted with orange safety fencing and signage stating “DANGER Construction Area No Trespassing.”  We apologize for the inconvenience, but it is the County’s goal to keep the areas safe for the community for future years to come.  (Per Amy Smith <ASmith@albemarle.org>)
