Join the celebration of our Nation's Independence Day during the annual 4th of July Parade which begins at 11:00 a.m. on Monday. Grab your lawn chair and find your favorite parade viewing spot along the parade route which begins on 1st Avenue South, turns north on 8th Street and heads west on Central Avenue to the Civic Center.
This year's parade theme is "America: Let Freedom Ring." To participate in the parade or if you have any questions regarding the parade, please contact Ed Brown at 788-0032.
The best viewing of the community fireworks display will be at Elk's-Riverside Park. The community display will begin about 10:15 p.m. from West Bank Park. West Bank Park will be closed all day in order for the pyrotechnics to set up the display. Handicap parking will be available in the Farmers Union Building parking lot located on River Drive. Access to that parking lot will only be at Central Avenue West and River Drive.
