The Parade Committee2023 SUDBURY 4TH OF JULY PARADE

Judging for the floats will begin at 12:00 pm.  All floats need to be in position by noon and must incorporate the current theme into the overall design to be eligible for an award. We also ask that the theme title be displayed somewhere on the float.

The parade will start at 1:00 on Tuesday, July 4, 2023.  As in years past, the parade will line up in Chiswick Park.  We ask that you enter from Route 20, located diagonally across from CVS. GPS address is 490 Boston Post Road, Sudbury. Once you have confirmed we will send you another email with directions, your assigned division, and a map of the parade route.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to email the committee at: parade@sudbury.org

Once again, thank you for your participation and we look forward to bringing our tradition back.

Sincerely,

Mike Hamill, Chairman
