Pierre Clayessens Veterans Foundation to Air Special 4th of July Celebration this Saturday at 6 PM on KEYT

SANTA BARBARA — Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation (PCVF) invites the community to celebrate 4th of July with an hour long television special this Saturday, July 4th, on KEYT TV Channel 3 from 6:00-7:00 p.m.

PCVF encourages individuals and families to stay home, be well, and enjoy the holiday during COVID-19 by continuing their yearly tradition for the Santa Barbara community.

“We are very excited we get a chance to bring 4th of July traditions to those who want to stay safe and carry on Independence Day traditions,” said John Blankenship, PCVF Co-Founder. “This is our first time doing a 4th of July TV special and we are happy we get to continue to carry on the holiday spirit during these times. As we all make small sacrifices in our daily lives to adjust to living with COVID-19 including not being able to have our Independence Day Parade, it does help shine a light on the real sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform and what they fought for.”

The 4th of July Celebration will include different scenes from past parades, special guests, a concert with the West Coast Symphony and a spectacular fireworks finale.To learn more, please visit pcvf.org.
