INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE

July 4th, 2024

10am - Noon
Downtown Fairfax
Rain or Shine

The City of Fairfax's Independence Day Parade and Fireworks began in 1967. Organized by the Delta Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, the parade has developed into the largest in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The parade has all the requisite ingredients for the Fourth of July: marching bands, floats, Shriners' little cars and big motorcycles, old fire engines, clowns, and the scorching sun. The parade has featured flyovers by the Flying Circus Aerodrome — and, in 1996, a hot air balloon race. Historically, the parade has been followed by an Old-Fashioned Fireman's Day, in which area fire companies compete in firefighter-related activities; however, it has now turned into the "Future Fire Fighter's Day", which provides children's activities on fire safety and education. 

 We hope you'll come out and celebrate with us!
