The City of Manteca in partnership with Big League Dreams is hosting the annual Independence Day Celebration on Saturday, July 3, at the BLD sports complex. This family-style event is expected to draw between 8,000 and 12,000 people based on attendance in previous years.

The event goes from 4 to 10:30 p.m. It will feature live entertainment showcasing community talent, children’s activities, softball games, a homerun derby, as well as food and fun.  The event culminates with a spectacular fireworks show over the ball park.

Vendor space is limited and will be offered on a first come, first serve basis and will be approved by the City of Manteca and Big League Dreams Sports Park.  A fee of $100 is required to reserve a vendor booth.  Vendors are not guaranteed exclusive rights for selling any individual items, but the committee will try and limit duplication of certain items.

Vendors will be allowed to sell items, display an informational booth, or host an activity.  All items for sale are subject to approval by the Fourth of July committee. Big League Dreams has the rights to sell most food items, however some additional items will be permitted.  For more information call Brandy Kendrick-Clark at (209) 456-8623.
