Today’s the day: Newcastle’s Red White & Blue FEST is here. Join the City of Newcastle and Newcastle, OK Parks & Recreation tonight at Veterans Park from 5 to 10 p.m. for food trucks, crafts, games, family fun, live music, and fireworks at 9:45 p.m. As we celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States, we remember America’s journey from 13 colonies to 50 states and U.S. territories — a story shaped by courage, freedom, perseverance, and promise. Bring your family, invite your neighbors, and celebrate America with us.
