Summer will be here before we know it.

And one group is already anticipating the season's arrival... the "brazil rotary club" is holding their 86th annual 4th of july celebration.

News 10's porsha williams explains what you can expect if you go to the festival.

I talked with the entertainment chairmen dave crooks.

Even with the pandemic..

They were one of the few to still hold this celebration last year.

Crooks tells me this year is going to be even better.

[take pkg outcue: 4th of july celebration duration:1:24] pk} *nats* music play} the brazil rotary club is putting on 4 days of fun for the community to celebrate the 4th of july.

"every night there's entertainment and it's all free and it can make a big difference for families on tight incomes so they can come out and enjoy the festival for several days and it won't cost them a arm and a leg to celebrate the 4th of july."

He also talked about some of the precautions they will be taking to keep everyone safe.

"people are encouraged to wear a mask if they feel more comfortable doing just that if we still have a threat by then but at this point they'll be sanitizer stations and things like that and we'll do appropriate social distancing for the vendors and those that will be in the crowd."

Even though the 85th annual celebration still went on without a hitch last year..

It was missing one major component....the carnival.

Crooks says the response from the community has been everything.

"this community has always been very positive about the 4th of july celebration, because people can come to forrest park, one of the nicest parks you can find in the wabash valley."

Crooks adds there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

"this year we've expanded the schedule to have a variety of entertainment to fit all varities and genres of interest.

And it looks like the carnival...we're about 75 percent sure that the carnival is going to return this year.

So we're hoping to get back to some sort of normalcy this year with the brazil rotary 4th of july celebration."

The proceeds from the festival will go towards helping community projects and scholarships.
