The sports center is set to host Woodbury’s annual 4th of July Hometown Celebration, with activities and live music to start at 6 p.m. Monday and a fireworks display to close out the event.

The celebration will also feature food trucks, bounce houses and a meet-and-greet with officials, according to the city.

City officials are encouraging residents to ride their bikes or walk to the event due to limited parking and closures around M Health Fairview Sports Center. The intersection of Bailey Road and Pioneer Drive is due to be closed during the event, and drivers should be prepared for congestion and “long wait times” while leaving the area, officials said.
