BREA, Calif.—The city’s Independence Day celebration kicked off by announcing the winners of the Community Home Beautification Challenge at the annual Country Fair on Monday.
The July Fourth home decorating competition—held for the first time in 2020 —showcases the community’s patriotic spirit. This year, the city received 20 entries.
“We did this for the first time in 2020 during COVID to try and help people bring their spirit back and be able to celebrate Fourth of July in a different way,” Kristin Steyerman, Brea’s community services supervisor, told The Epoch Times.
