FHortyworks Celebration Offers Fireworks and Fun

Celebrate the City of Farmington Hills' 40th birthday on July 3 at the “FHortyworks” Celebration, held from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Founders Sports Park on Eight Mile Road. 

Formerly Farmington Township, the city incorporated in 1973 and has since grown to become the second largest in Oakland County. Joan Dudley, one of the city's first council members, recently told the Farmington Observer that an attempt by the City of Farmington to annex land helped nudge township officials to tackle the process of becoming a city. 

“The roads were also an issue,” Dudley told the newspaper.

The “FHortyworks” Celebration will feature bouncers, games, food, and live music from Steve King and the Dittilies, plus fireworks at 10 p.m. In honor of the 4th of July holiday, guests can undergo a patriotic makeover, with red, white and blue hair and face paint. 

The rain date for the “FHortyworks” Celebration is July 4. Learn more at fhgov.com or call 248-473-1800.
