Come and bring your children in their most patriotic getup, and they can be stars for a day at this year’s Independence Day Children’s Parade. All families are welcome to take part in this special event. Children up to twelve years old must be accompanied by an adult. Participants will walk down the two-block-long parade route on historic Hill Street with their community cheering them on. Invite your friends and family to watch your crew and participate in the food and festivities afterward.
Wear your best red, white, and blue outfits for the parade and decorate your wagons, strollers, bikes, and even your people-friendly four-legged friends. Families participating in the parade will gather in the old CASA parking lot behind the GoLo Gas Station and walk down Hill St. between Wabash St. and Cass St.
After the parade, Hill Street and beyond businesses will host a block party with free food, drinks, and fun for all parade participants and observers.
