Does your city have a holiday or a festival for celebrating the town? Our town is having ours in a week or so. There are lots of free festival-type things, parades, fireworks, fun stuff for the kids. Some of it, like the rodeo and the pancake breakfast cost a few dollars.

Yes, some things are free and obviously some things are not. Every community has some sort of fair of their own. I live in Canada's national capital and there are +++ free touristy things to do as well as things that cost (ranging from pricey to affordable).

We just had our Watercarnival celebration two weeks ago. It's a week long festival that ended on Father's Day with a big parade that goes right by our house and a cornation of a new city queen, princess, and junior royalty.
