It’s Fourth of July Week. That means there are Fireworks, Parades, and lots more family fun this week.
Arbor Annie’s Weekday Picks
The big events this week are all about Fourth of July.
There are a couple of chances to see Fireworks this week. Tuesday night is the Hudson Mills Fireworks or Thursday in Saline.
Thursday morning is all about the Fourth of July parades. We love the Ann Arbor Jaycees Parade. It has a new route this year, so be sure to check out the details and get our tips for attending. After the parade stop in at the Firefighter’s Spray Park and Washtenaw Dairy’s 85th Year Celebration.
There are also parades in Whitmore Lake and Ypsilanti.
The hot temperatures continue throughout the week. However, there is a chance of storms every day. Still, if the weather holds out, it is a great time to check out local pools, water parks, and spray grounds. They are all open on the 4th, but it can get crowded on the holiday.

Top of the Park continues this week. Be sure to check out our Top of the Park Kids Guide for the daily schedule, tips for attending, and more. Wednesday’s movie is Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. I showed it to my 13 year old daughter earlier this year and she loved it. And, yes Top of the Park is held on Fourth of July.
Finally don’t miss our roundup of What is Open or Closed on Fourth of July.

Movies
SpiderMan: Far From Home opens on Tuesday. We are trying to figure out the best time to see it with softball on Tuesday and still get ready for a Fourth of July barbecue on Thursday.
Over the weekend, we saw Avengers Endgame again with the extra footage. It included a nice tribute to Stan Lee and a sneak peek of Spiderman: Far From Home.
Toy Story 4 is still going strong. We saw it last weekend. Be sure to check our review and make plans to see it yourself.
