Patriotic Park Displays: Dorey Park

Henrico County has canceled its 2020 Red, White & Lights July 4th Celebration due to health and safety concerns from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recreation and Parks will present patriotic displays July 1-5 at Crump Park and Dorey Park. The displays will feature 70 flags, artwork and a sand sculpture that will be built onsite, beginning Saturday, June 27.

On July 3, visitors to Dorey Park will hear the story of London Pleasants, an enslaved man who defined his own independence during the Revolutionary War. A 20-minute presentation by Colonial Williamsburg re-enactor Jamar Jones and a question-and-answer period will occur at 4, 5, & 6 p.m.

Visit the parks any time from dawn to dusk. All activities will be held in outdoor areas and arranged to encourage social distancing.
