Fourth of July Parade

Join us for the annual Fourth of July Parade in downtown Ann Arbor on Friday, July 5, 2025 at 10 a.m. Each year, the Ann Arbor Fourth of July Parade draws a crowd of thousands to witness the spectacular floats, bands, and individuals walking the streets to celebrate the independence of our nation. Community members, government leaders, representatives, and government appointees lead and participate in the parade. In addition, community groups, clowns, bands, and children march in the parade. A grand marshal is selected and they will lead the parade after the beginning banner.
