Following this year’s flooding, Grafton is ready for a celebration. This year’s flood was the second highest in recorded history and just 3 feet below the 1993 flood.

Mayor Rick Eberlin and the City are using the Independence Day celebration to mark the unofficial reopening of Grafton to tourists. The event will take place on July 6, 2019 at 8:30 pm near The Loading Dock restaurant and bar.

While areas of Grafton that remain under water, the majority of Grafton’s unique restaurants, shops, and businesses will be accessible.

The owners of the Grafton businesses are forward to “seeing you, your family and friends real soon. It’s going to be a great summer.”
