Time & date

What time does the parade start?

Tuesday, July 4, 2023 – We start with a pre-parade at 8:30am. The pre-parade features the noisy police cars, fire engines, military vehicles, classic cars, tractors, etc. The parade then steps off at 9:00am.

Remember we want you to stay safe! Please no silly string, no poppers or firecrackers, and no crossing in front of the units.
