Summer is here along with our favorite summertime tradition. The SPCA and the SCA are teaming up once again for the Annual 4th of July Parade & Picnic, and this year is a big one. America turns 250 and we’re going to throw a birthday party worthy of the moment.

Parade

Parade Details

Time: The parade assembly begins at 9:00 AM at Sauganash Park on Kostner. The marching will begin at 9:30 AM.

Route: We’ll march through Sauganash, cross Peterson, walk past Sauganash School, and conclude the procession at the flagpole at the corner of Forest Glen and Peterson.

A couple of things new for the 250th:

• Bike decorations are encouraged as always, and this year there are special rewards for anyone who comes dressed as a historical US figure. Founding fathers, founding mothers, your pick. Prizes are handed out at assembly.

• Our veterans will serve as Grand Marshals. If you’re a veteran who’d like to lead the parade, reach out to the SCA at [email protected].

All neighbors are welcome to march, ride along, or cheer from the curb. Bring lawn chairs, and keep an eye out for treats along the route.

Picnic to Be Held After Parade

Location: Join us at Sauganash Park immediately following the parade.

Food: The SPCA will provide hot dogs and the SCA will supply refreshments and other treats.
