About Independence Day on the Rock
Independence Day on the Rock is a one-day celebration of our nation's independence. This community event will be held at Traxler Park in Janesville, Wisconsin on Monday, July 4, 2011.
Activities will include a garden tractor pull, Taste of Janesville (food vendors), inflatable jump houses for the kids, idol contest, "anything that floats" race, beer tent, band, and water ski show. The festivities will conclude with a fireworks display over the Rock River.
The event is being coordinated and hosted by the Rock Aqua Jays Water Ski Show Team. The Rock Aqua Jays have been a mainstay in Janesville for 50 years with a solid reputation for producing successful events including the National Water Ski Show Tournament, Mercury Marine Open Tournament, and Fright Factory haunted house. The Rock Aqua Jays Water Ski Club, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that performs twice-weekly free water ski shows from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. The team uses its shows as a platform for educating its members and the general public about safe boating and water-skiing techniques.
