Fourth of July Celebration at Robbins Farm Park

The annual celebration will be without a familiar sound.

Arlington’s annual Fourth of July celebration at Robbins Farm Park will kick off at 6 p.m. Thursday.

The celebration will be without the John Penny Band for the first time in more than a decade, as John Penny died this winter. He was 79.

The Reminisants will play in their place.
