30th Annual Independence Day Festival & Family Fun Day was Great Success

On July 7^th Buena Vista Township celebrated it’s 30^th Annual Independence Day Celebration at Michael Debbi Park. With great weather and a large crowd there was fun for everyone.

It featured music, food, crafters, vendors, raffle, 50/50 drawings, and fireworks at dusk. New Jersey State Police gave attendees a demonstration of their K-9 Unit, and the State Police helicopter flew overhead.

The festival also featured the annual Fire/First Responder Vehicle Parade and new this year, the First Responder’s Vehicle Show, along with our firefighters’ water barrel fights in which East Vineland took 1^st place and Richland took 2^nd place.

We were also honored to have Senator Dr. Jeff VanDrew of the 1^st Legislative District speak to the audience at the opening ceremonies.

The Municipal Drug Alliance of Buena Vista, Buena Borough and Weymouth Township, in conjunction with the Governor’s Council Against Drug Addiction (GCADA), hosted its first ever Free Family Fun Day at the Buena Vista Township’s 30^th Annual Independence Celebration on July 7, 2018.

It was a wonderful day and many families attended. The Alcohol and drug free area had bouncy houses, arts & craft tables, obstacle courses, games for all ages, and a Pie Eating Contest. Everyone had a great time.
