Summer Program

The focus of the Douglas Fourth of July Committee events have always been on children and community coming together to celebrate 4th of July in Douglas, Alaska.

​

Thank you for your patience as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of holding events during a global pandemic the past couple of years. 

Douglas property owners are encouraged to decorate their property in Red, White & Blue colors, bunting, banners, flags, flowers, party lights & etc.by 5:00 PM for judging. We ask them to leave the decorations through Independence Day, July 4th.
