Pittsfield’s Fourth of July Parade–Join Four Freedoms Coalition

This year’s parade theme is “Celebrating Our Heroes,” so feel free to dress up as people you consider heroes (male or female) in American history. Wear red, white and blue regalia if you’d and we welcome as many Uncle Sams and Statues of Liberty as possible!

The Four Freedoms Coalition invites you to march with them in this parade.  They will be meeting up at 9am at Spot #175 on Bartlett Ave near Broad Street. The parade begins at 10am at South Street and Housatonic Street, and ends at Wahconah Park. Wear sunscreen, bring water and DEFINITELY wear comfortable shoes!  Kids welcome and musical instruments too! We will be singing as we go.

PARKING:  To avoid congestion, the Parade Committee recommends that marchers park their cars near the entrance to Wahconah Park and take a shuttle bus (provided by the Parade Committee) to the starting point. The shuttle will operate from 7:00 am to 9:00 am.

NOTE:  The “Parade Rules” state that “All groups…are expected to reflect the annual parade theme and/or an Independence Day theme in their parade entry. The parade is about community and our freedoms, not a group or their cause. Therefore, NO advocating, opposing or depicting of any political, religious or social issues.”
