All bike riders, floats and marchers need to line up  on BEECH STREET for the parade between 9:30am – 9:45am.

This year’s parade theme is RED, WHITE & BLUE and GREEN – Cape Story saves the environment.  Awards will be given for Most Original, Most Patriotic and Best Theme. Bribing the judges is greatly encouraged!  The parade will be followed by a brunch in the park. There will also be biscuits, doughnuts, fruit and patriotic tunes.

The annual fireworks show will once again be presented by Zambelli Fireworks Internationale. The display will consist of over 700 shells and will be launched around 9:20 pm on Friday July 4th from the beach at First Landing State park. The rain date will be Saturday July 5th at the same time. Please pass the word that personal fireworks should not be launched until after the show. Use of personal fireworks before the show may result in cancellation. 

Volunteers are still needed for all of the 4th of July events.
