The Independence Day celebration at Pratt Park in Stafford County was a wonderful experience for my family.

It was our first time attending the event and our first time visiting Pratt Park, which overlooks the Rappahannock River. We were surprised at the size and openness of the park, capable of accommodating so many people to celebrate our nation's 247th birthday.
