Is there anything that brings out national pride in all its glory more than a small town Fourth of July celebration? Graeagle and its corresponding Mohawk Valley Independence Day organizers are experts at showcasing the full spectrum of classic Americana for enthusiastic spectators who travel from near and far for this annual fete. This year’s celebratory weekend is geared, rightly so, to honor our heroes.

Come join me at the Grandstand known as Leah’s Front Porch. There’s always room for you here!
Even if you can’t make the trip to Graeagle, you can get a glimpse of what you’re missing via THE FAMOUS GRAEAGLE WEBCAM from the comfort of your own back porch. Raise the flag and give a salute. This weekend we’re all proud to be

😦 The web can is pointing straight down to the ground! Unfortunately, we aren’t able to be there and hope to watch the festivities via the famous web cam…but we can’t see anything but pavement. 😦
Oh dear, so sorry. An attempt was made to stop the camera’s movement and have it stationary pointing at one spot. That spot wasn’t supposed to be the ground.
