As we gather to celebrate the 4th of July, we reflect on the true meaning of Independence Day: unity, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness.

Here in Lowell, these values are vibrantly embodied in our diverse and dynamic community. Lowell is a city of rich cultural heritage, where each neighborhood adds its own unique thread to the tapestry of our community. Our diversity is our strength, and it is what makes Lowell such a special place to live, work, and celebrate.

Whether you are a lifelong resident or a newcomer, the sense of community pride is palpable.

This Independence Day, we celebrate not just our nation’s freedom, but also the freedom to express our individual cultures and traditions. From the vibrant parades and community gatherings to the spectacular fireworks lighting up the night sky, we see the spirit of Lowell in every smile and cheer.

Our city is known for its welcoming nature and the way we come together to support one another. This 4th of July, let’s take a moment to appreciate the incredible community we have built. Let’s honor our shared history and look forward to a future filled with promise and unity.

On behalf of the Mayor’s office, we wish all Lowell residents a joyous and safe Independence Day. May your celebrations be filled with laughter, love, and the warmth of family and friends. Let’s continue to shine as a beacon of diversity, community pride, and resilience.

Happy 4th of July, Lowell!
