Festive Fourth weekend: Rock The Park, July 4 parade all part of Ely’s busy holiday slate

Ely is gearing up for what figures to be one of the busiest weekends of the summer.

Rock The Park, followed by the community’s July 4 festivities, make for a double- whammy unlike anything else this year.

The annual concert at Whiteside Park is set for Friday, July 3, while the following day both the park and the city’s streets will be filled for the annual parade and associated activities.
