As a joint fundraiser with Vogel Alcove, Dallas Heritage Village will host an Old Fashioned Fourth of July celebration, complete with Smokey Ray’s Barbecue and Kona Ice food trucks. Families can bring bikes, trikes, and scooters for a day of fun in Old City Park, where the museum will have an "All Join In" parade. A special reading by Michael Brundy of Frederick Douglass’s famous Independence Day Speech will also be read during the festivities.
