Independence Day Children’s Parade

This beloved small-town tradition is all about bringing families together for a fun-filled Fourth of July celebration centered around kids, community, and hometown spirit

Kids and families are invited to dress in their best red, white, and blue and take part in our Children’s Parade down Hill Street while the community lines the streets to cheer them on! This is not a traditional parade with floats. Families decorate bikes, wagons, strollers, scooters, and even their furry friends.  Walk, ride, dance, wave, or simply enjoy the fun together!

After the parade, stay for our FREE Block Party featuring:
Crafts & activities
Music
Games
Food
…and more family fun!

We love celebrating with our community each year and can’t wait to see families come together again for another memorable morning in Wabash!
