The Fourth of July Parade will begin at 6:00 p.m. The parade route will start at 2nd Street and Hart Street, continue to 7th Street, travel south on 7th Street to Main Street, and then proceed west on Main Street back to 2nd Street.

The downtown area will also be closed to vehicle traffic.

We will have additional officers assigned throughout the evening along the parade route, downtown, and around the Memorial Grounds to help ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable celebration.
