“Celebrating Small Town Traditions”
The Linton Freedom Festival is an annual celebration of the Linton community. Events include arts & crafts, carnival, live bands, horse-pull, bed races, lip sync contest, Little Miss & Little Mister Linton Contest, Civitan ham & egg breakfast, fireworks display and a parade which means fun for the entire family.
The Linton Freedom Festival Parade is billed as “Indiana’s Largest Independence Day Parade”. The parade will bring nearly 40,000 people to Linton each year to enjoy the floats, bands and clowns. Bring your whole family to help us celebrate this year!
The Linton Freedom Festival taskforce works hard to make these events possible each year and have something for both young and old to enjoy. We hope you’ll join us for the festivities as we celebrate our Nation’s Birthday!
The Linton Freedom Festival is brought to you by the Linton-Stockton Chamber of Commerce.

All sounds great,except, why do fireworks start so LATE?? Every other towns around does 830-900…when people are still interested..Just saying…
Sounds like lots of fun for everyone!
Wish Greene county or Linton had a community band I sure do miss that kind of music.
Thanks for all your hard work putting this together!!!!
