4th of July Parade and Picnic

Playground Park [Lippit/Sylvania at Sinclair]

July 4th – 9 to 11 am

 

Calling all Superheroes, young and old! Share your super presence at the 4th of July Parade and Picnic hosted by Eastwood Neighborhood Association.

Wear your most patriotic clothes. Dress up the kids and dogs. Deck out your bicycle, wagon, scooter, stroller, or and anything else that rolls — you can even make a float! Costume and decorations awards have returned!

Meet up at Playground Park at 9 am. Or cheer us from the parade route. Things usually get rolling by 9:15 am — just as the cool front is predicted to arrive.

We’ll follow vehicles from police and/or fire (if they’re not fighting crime/fires then) and go up Sylvania. We take a right on Vinemont, follow it to Creekmere, turn right and return to the park. It takes about 20 minutes.

Back at Playground Park, we’ll have a picnic party with a mega slip-and-slide for the kids!

Freshly grilled hot dogs    Corn chips and salsa from El Fenix
