Excited but wish there were more activities for teenagers.
Softball AND fireworks in one night? Perfect July 4th.
Hoping for some good funnel cake at the carnival!
Good to see so many community sponsors for the fireworks.
Does anyone know if pets are allowed at the picnic?
Never been to the Wooster picnic before—worth checking out?
Thanks, Seth, for sharing this!
Anyone know what food trucks will be at the Wooster event?
Appreciate the info! Planning our week out now.
Hope the weather holds up for all these outdoor things!
Is it just me or does the 2026 thing seem a bit early?
Softball tournament in between—nice touch. Go girls!
I miss the days when the fireworks were on July 3rd, but this still sounds fun.
Really miss when Orrville had horse-drawn carriages in the parade.
Love that our town keeps these traditions alive.
Glad to see Rotary and Exchange Club pitching in for fireworks.
Fire in the Sky tournament always draws a crowd. Go girls!
Will there be parking shuttles again for fireworks night? Traffic last year was nuts.
Hope the extra innings don't delay the fireworks too much!
Our church always does a float for Orrville. Already planning this year!
Thankful for everyone who donates to make the Wooster show happen.
Totally forgot America’s 250th is coming up. Wooster’s making it big!
Looking forward to seeing my daughter in the 14U tournament!
Fireworks at 10:15 is kinda late for families with little ones.
We're new to Orrville—should we go to parade or fireworks if we can only pick one?
Hope there’s still a pie eating contest at the carnival!
Glad it’s spread out over several days, gives us more options.
Who’s running the carnival this year? Rides were better last time.
Wish they’d have more info about food vendors.
Wish the parade was on the 4th itself, but glad there’s a full week.
Thank you for the details. Brings back memories of going as a kid.
Wooster fireworks at the soccer fields are always packed, get there early!
Does anyone know if the rides at the carnival are cash only?
Any idea if the Wooster festival will have live music?
Excited for the community picnic downtown!
Thanks for posting the start times. I always forget.
Will there be enough parking at the soccer fields?
Grew up going to the Orrville parade. Still my favorite!
Wooster's fireworks have always been great.
Didn't know Wooster did a picnic on the 5th. Cool!
Glad Orrville is still doing the softball tournament.
Wow, a girls softball tournament too? Nice!
Hope the weather holds up for the fireworks.
So excited for the fireworks!
Can't wait for the parade on Tuesday!
Orrville parade is always a highlight for my kids.
Oh cool, I didn't realize the carnival was the whole week.
Hope the carnival has funnel cakes again.
Thanks for posting the schedule!
Love knowing the dates ahead of time!
