We're pumped about our first patriotic holiday of the year! Come celebrate the men and women who make our lives better every day. Enjoy a jam‑packed weekend filled with star‑spangled fun, glowing celebrations, and classic Jellystone Park™ traditions.
Friday Night
✨ Glow Hey‑Hey‑Heyride
Light up the night with a glowing red‑white‑and‑blue hayride! Wear your best glow gear and UV‑sensitive clothing to kick off the holiday weekend in shining style.
Saturday Morning
👨🍳 Krazy Kitchen
Do you ever wonder how they create MREs (Meals Ready to Eat)? For those who have eaten them… this is how we think they're developed! Spin the wheel to discover your wild flavor combination. If you can eat it, you win a prize!
Join us at the Krazy Kitchen by the LOCO‑Motive (next to the Pavilion).
Saturday Afternoon
🇺🇸 Patriotic Golf Cart & Bike Parade
Show off your American pride! Decorate your bikes, scooters, strollers, and golf carts in festive red‑white‑and‑blue and roll through the park in celebratory style.
Saturday Night
💲🎈 All‑American Balloon Parade
Purchase an LED Balloon for the parade — available in advance at Fun Central Station for $5, or $5 cash at the event. Each glowing balloon is tethered to a kite string so you can float it high into the night sky. Once everyone is set, we'll walk together around Stargaze Pond. The effect is absolutely magical — you won't want to miss it!
Sunday Night
🔥 🐻 Ring of Fire Party at Firedance Pond
Our famous holiday celebration! Enjoy a cookout, s'mores, and dancing with the Jellystone Park™ Pals!
All Weekend
🧺 Feed the Bear — Food Drive
Help fill Yogi Bear™ giant Pic‑A‑Nic Basket with dry and canned goods! He'll share the bounty with Asheboro's hungry at Our Daily Bread. Thank you for partnering with us!
