July 4th Celebrations

Montclair will Celebrate July 4th with Parade and Festival
**Marching bands, floats and community groups to march**

The Montclair July 4th celebrations are back, bigger and better than ever. The region’s largest Independence Day parade.

The parade will take place on Thursday, July 4th, 2024, beginning at 11 a.m. The town festival will immediately follow the conclusion of the parade. 

The Parade and Festival

Parade participants are the heart and soul of the event. Marching bands, floats, antique cars, senior citizens, soccer kids, PTA parents, local businesses, veterans, bubble dancers and pranksters with squirt guns will all wind their way through the streets of the Township. Their expressions of creativity will meet the enthusiastic cheers of their neighbors and friends. It sums up the exactly what Montclair aspires to be: diverse and inclusive. Everyone's welcome.

The parade begins at 11:00 a.m. along a 1.6-mile route traveling west on Bloomfield Avenue, north on Midland Avenue, continuing to Watchung Avenue, west to Valley Road and ending at Edgemont Park, the site of the town picnic. The parade is a rain or shine event.

The community Picnic will begin at 1 p.m. Food trucks, music, games and activities will be on hand at the end of the parade route in Edgemont Park.
