Attendees are advised to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets. Township guidelines state that tents, outside alcohol, and pets—with the exception of service animals—are prohibited on the property.
On Saturday, July 4, the fun shifts to the streets with the Independence Day Power Tour.

The mobile auto showcase will roll through the Levittown section of the township beginning at 9 a.m.
The event is modeled after the Corona Cruisers, which traveled through Levittown during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns to offer neighborhood-based entertainment.
Organized in partnership with 215 Mopar, the tour is hosted by Middletown Township Supervisors Ryan Leighton and Christian Gallardo, who also founded the Corona Cruisers.

Local automotive organizations, including 215 Mopar, Bucks County Stangz, and the Iron Rebels, will join car enthusiasts to cruise through residential streets.
“This isn’t your typical car show. Instead of spectators coming to us, we’re bringing the vehicles to the neighborhoods,” Gallardo announced in a social media post. “Grab your fold-up chairs, refreshments, and your favorite Independence Day decorations and help us celebrate the holiday as we cruise through town.”

Gallardo added that the rolling format offers an experience different from stationary car shows.
“Another part of this event that you don’t get at a traditional car show is experiencing the vehicles in motion,” Gallardo said. “You’ll hear the roar of the engines, hear the sound systems, see the lights in action, and enjoy the excitement of a rolling automotive showcase.”
