In-the-know residents who live along the Highland Avenue parade route lay claim to their July Fourth viewing spots as much as a week in advance, and this year is no different.
But parade-goers shouldn’t fret if they don’t have a seat secured — there’s plenty of room for all along the parade route to enjoy the passing floats.
The City of Piedmont’s annual Fourth of July celebration will begin at 11 a.m. on Friday running eight blocks along Highland Avenue from Park Way to Piedmont Park. This year’s theme is “Traditions Thrive in 2025.”
Following the parade, festivities will continue in Piedmont Park with a community picnic and music by David Martin’s House Party from 12-3pm.
Please be considerate of public spaces in advance of and during celebrations:
- Do not place chairs at bus stops
- Do not block access from the street to the sidewalk with chairs
- Use blankets rather than tarps for picnics in the park. Tarps damage the grass
