Salute to Independence Parade
July 4 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Bring your lawn chairs and the entire family and take a seat along the parade route to experience a visual and musical extravaganza celebrating our nation. This year’s parade begins with a traveling dance production set to the music of a special song written by the parade producer titled “America My Home Sweet Home“! Get ready to clap your hands and dance along! The parade will feature a diverse mix of floats, entertainers, marching musical groups, and more.
The parade begins at 5th and Chestnut Streets and travels in front of Independence Hall in the exact steps of our founding fathers, and then turns right onto 6th Street, and then left onto Market Street, ending at Arch and Broad Streets.
