This year’s parade will take place from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm (noon) on Tuesday July 4th. The parade route will start on Beech at the bike path, proceed down Beech to Poinciana, follow Poinciana to Bayberry, turn left on Bayberry and end in the neighborhood park. All bike riders, floats and marchers need to line up for the parade between 9:30am – 9:45am. Please be careful spilling out onto Shore Drive. If you have to, line your float up in Food Lion’s parking lot and we will work you into the parade as it starts moving.
Please be aware that Beech, Poinciana, and Bayberry will be closed to vehicle traffic during the parade procession, so plan accordingly.
As in past years, trophies will be given for Most Original, Most Patriotic and Best Theme. You can contact Todd Solomon, Event Coordinator, at todd@sdcc.info or 757-667-8533 with any questions regarding the event.
