EASTWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION

WHAT FUN! EASTWOOD'S ANNUAL INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE AND COOKOUT

Sunday, July 03, 2022 3:48 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

We love our neighborhood... and our Independence Day parade and cookout, held on the Saturday closest to July 4th. Neighbors, kids included, dress up in patriotic and summer wear and gather at Playground Park. Then with police and sometimes fire vehicles leading the way, we saunter down Sylvania to Vinemont and on to Creekmere. To conclude, we party at the park with grilled hot dogs, snow cones, and more, plus a water bounce house and splash pad for the kids.
