Parade Information:
The Annual “pandemic-safe” Independence Day Car/Bicycle Parade is set for Monday, July 4th at 10:00.
The parade that travels down Piney Point Road, kicks-off our annual patriotic, flag waving, red, white and blue celebration of America’s birthday. We will not have our usual gathering at the end of the parade as we wind down from the effects of the COVID Pandemic.
It will simply be come out, wave the flag, cheer our Police and Fire Personnel and celebrate our Great Nation. There is also an open, non-timed “Fun Run” and children’s bike ride to kick off the parade. Meet up at the Memorial High field house parking lot at 9:45am. Runners will go first. The run is a true Fun Run, no timers, no categories, no pressure. The run will go down Piney Point and end near Ecclesia Church. Runners will need to have their own transportation back to the start. Shortly after the runners leave, we will have a Children’s Bike Ride. We are encouraging riders (of all ages) to decorate their bikes and ride the parade route. All in support our Red, White and Blue. Families are encouraged to ride.
Next, it is the vehicle parade starting at 10am. Residents who wish to join in are encouraged to decorate their vehicles following a Red, White and Blue theme. The parade will be led by the Village Fire Department, followed by Village Officials, Resident Vehicles and followed up by our Police Departments. The old-fashioned 4th of July celebration is a joint effort of the six Memorial Villages and is free to all attendees.
We will be throwing candy this year!! The Parade will end in front of St. Francis/Ecclesia Church.
