American flags line the streets of Centerville, Ohio, on Independence Day as a parade highlights the largest single-day festival in Ohio.

In this city 15 miles south of Dayton and 45 miles north of Cincinnati, the Americana Festival represents a patriotic tradition reflective of a Norman Rockwell painting illustrating a simpler time, yet the annual event is only part of the community’s passion for America’s heritage.
