An Independence Day to Remember!

So mark your calendars to celebrate that truth with us on Independence Day (Monday, July 4th!) with hundreds of grateful Americans at Magnalia Homestead & Farm in Stokesdale.

Suggested donations for tickets are $5/person, $10/couple or $20/family to help offset some of the costs for the fireworks, photo booth, bounce house, tents and other supplies. If this creates any difficulty for you, however, we have created a FREE option. We do not want the cost to deter anyone from coming, and a family has agreed to pay the cost of tickets for any who cannot afford it!
All proceeds from food and beverage purchases will benefit Magnalia Homestead Foundation’s work to host veterans for meals and lodging in 2022 and to continue building The Jubilee Barn in support of its partnership with Mount Jubilee Ministries, to help serve the special needs community in the Triad.
Tickets are being limited to 400 this year, and they will go fast! So please RSVP soon to help us plan for you and yours!
We’re excited to see you, and to celebrate together our great nation and the privilege of being Americans.
