ALLENTOWN, Pa. – The heat isn’t stopping the celebrations up to bat at Coca-Cola Park for its back-to-back America 250 events.

69 News Reporter Sydney Kay takes us inside the park in Allentown ahead of Friday’s patriotic fun taking the field.

America is swinging for the fences at Coca-Cola Park in honor of the 250th.

It’s all part of the park’s ‘Liberty Ignited’ event Friday, bringing performances, a light show of 300 drones, and its largest fireworks show in history.

“We have an eight-foot-tall Declaration of Independence that everybody who attends the event can sign,” said Matthew Bari, the vice president of marketing and entertainment with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.

More than 20 organizations will be throughout the concourse, such as The League of Women Voters of Lehigh County.

“We have forms, we have information about the league, we have information about voting… We stand for justice and we stand for civic education,” said Mary Erdman, the former president with The League of Women Voters of Lehigh County.

They’re dressed the part.

“I’m Katharine Wentworth Ruschenberger… Katharine believed very deeply in justice for everyone in the country and Pennsylvania specifically,” said Nell Sokalski, a member of the group.

Friday night, they’ll be portraying important women in our country’s history.

“Belva Ann Lockwood… She was really an advocate for women’s rights, Indian rights, from the civil war,” said Lisa Dolan, The League of Women Voters of Lehigh County’s web master.

One of those women isn’t in history books, but rather a family tree.

“I’m going to be portraying my great-grandmother, Mary Hettinger… We found a picture that shows in 1915 she has a car that says, ‘votes for women’ on it,” said member Kathleen Parsons.

Due to the heat wave, guests are allowed to bring in factory-sealed, plastic water bottles for both Friday and Saturday’s events. Park officials are encouraging guests to hydrate early.

Officials are also recommending folks arrive ahead of schedule. With gates opening at 6 p.m., they’re expecting heavy traffic surrounding the park.

The ‘Liberty Ignited’ event kicks off at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday’s ‘Great American Blast’ will take place July 4th at 6:15 p.m. with fireworks at 9:15 p.m.
