4-Day Liberty Fest Set To Kick Off In Catoosa

Starting Wednesday Catoosa’s annual “Liberty Fest” is kicking off for a special four-day event that now includes a carnival along with their normal firework festivities.

Normally it’s a one-day fireworks event for the July 4th holiday, but this year they are making the fun last all week at Rogers Point Park. Liberty Fest this year has carnival rides, fair food vendors, and games for everyone to come out and enjoy tonight through Saturday night.

The hours for the carnival are as follows:

1. Wednesday: 6-10p.m.
2. Thursday: 6-10p.m.
3. Friday: 5-11p.m.
4. Saturday: 4-11p.m.

Admission, parking, and the fireworks are all free but there are separate costs for rides and food. There is parking on-site at Rogers Point Park, but if the lot gets full there will be parking at Catoosa High School with a shuttle running to bring people to and from the school.

Catoosa’s City Manager John Blish says they haven’t done a carnival as part of the festival in about twenty years, so this kind of big family fun is long overdue.

“Especially with the pandemic going on last year we didn’t get to have Liberty Fest,” Blish said. “We just want to get the community out and give them something to do.”
