The annual Arlington 4th of July Parade is scheduled to be held once again this year in Downtown Arlington. Now in its 50th year, the Parade, which garners anywhere from 5,000 to 70,000 spectators annually, will take place on Saturday, July 4 at 9 a.m. sharp. Fun for all ages, this signature Arlington event will showcase an array of colorful, artistic floats, marching bands, military color guards and so much more!
If you've never experienced the Arlington 4th of July Parade, this year is your chance to change that! The stunning spectacle features over 150 participants each year, and runs along a two-mile route through Downtown Arlington and College Park District. One of the best places to enjoy the Parade is right in front of Arlington City Hall, where the judges' reviewing stand will be located. From here, you can enjoy the sounds of the Arlington Community Band, and view all of the floats, clowns and exotic cars a part of the two-hour affair. Be sure to arrive early to nab your spot and also consider bringing lawn chairs, a blanket and/or a portable canopy. The Arlington 4th of July Parade is expected to draw in a large crowd for its 50th anniversary this year and we hope you'll make it out to show your support!
