The "Celebrate Greenburgh" event will be held at Anthony F. Veteran Park and will include a tennis carnival, seniors bridge tournament, dunk tank, clowns and face painting among other features with the fireworks show at 9 p.m.

As an added feature, the Veteran Corps of Artillery of New York State will set up a camp in Colonial period uniforms from 2 to 3:30 p.m. to highlight the era in which the town was founded.
