The annual Cordova Old Time Downtown Fourth of July kicks off at 11 a.m. Monday on Main Street.
Join in the Independence Day festivities, including kids games organized by Cordova Girl Scouts. All children ages 2 and older may participate with a parent or caregiver.
Mayor Clay Koplin will welcome everyone to the event and Kendra Apodaca will sing the national anthem.
A Copper River red salmon barbecue will be served at noon. Local processors will donate salmon. Also on the menu are burgers, hotdogs and all the fixings.
Afterward, Cordova churches will have a pie social.
“Many hands make light work,” said Cathy Long in a Chamber press release in advance of the event. “Chip in to help pick up chairs and tables after the event like a true Cordovan.”
“This event could not be possible without community support,” Long wrote.

Volunteers are needed set up the big tent at 3 p.m. July 3, to set up tables and chairs at 9 a.m. July 4, and to take down the tent after the festivities Monday.
