Community Forum: Carlsbad’s Spectacular Independence Day Celebration

In this episode of the Community Forum on KCCC 930 AM, host Johnny Chandler prepares for his first local Independence Day by sitting down with Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway, Public Information Officer Kyle Marksteiner, and 4th of July Chairman Danny Fletcher (J.D. Strait). The group previews the massive "Liberty and Legacy" holiday weekend schedule taking place along Lake Carlsbad. The panel details Sunday's music lineup headlined by Country Music Hall of Fame songwriter Sonny Throckmorton, followed by Carlsbad's very first lighted boat parade. They also outline Monday’s events, including the morning street parade, a moving courthouse lawn ceremony honoring local World War II and Korean War era veterans, a full afternoon of live bands, and the spectacular night fireworks simulcast. Key safety and parking logistics, including free Carlsbad Transit shuttle rides from the Cascades parking lot, are also discussed.Support the showAired on KCCC 930 AM RADIO and available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Get full access to KCCC Eddy County Dispatch at kccc930am.substack.com/subscribe
