Downtown Arcadia hosts Patriotic Festival in honor of America's 243rd birthday. It takes place June 29, 5:00-9:30 PM on First Avenue, south of Huntington Drive, with live music, food, entertainment, and fireworks.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held at Arcadia's new 911 Center on a 3.5 acre parcel where the National Guard Armory once stood adjacent to the Arcadia Police Department.
