Sign up now to enter your neighborhood, family, team, club, class, business, or group of friends in Piedmont’s 4th of July parade.
New this year, you can register your parade entry online
The Fourth of July parade is one of Piedmont’s most beloved traditions and a reflection of our small community, featuring local dignitaries, civic organizations, sports teams, a parade of classic cars, and bagpipe bands marching down Highland Avenue as friends and neighbors cheer.
This year, organizers call on you to help add even more of the small, personal, only-in-Piedmont moments that make a hometown parade special. Your entry could be your block, your book club, your dog-walking crew, your carpool group, your pottery class, or a few families who want to celebrate together. Show us your Piedmont.
The route is short — just eight blocks along Highland Avenue from Park Way to Guilford Road — making it easy for groups of all ages to take part.
No float required
For many years, neighborhood floats were a special part of Piedmont’s Fourth of July celebration. You can help carry that spirit forward in whatever way works for your group.
Entries do not need to be elaborate — any of the following are great ways to participate:
• Kids on decorated bikes or scooters
• Neighbors walking together with handmade signs
• A wagon, stroller, or small cart decorated for the day
• A block, class, team, club, or book group showing their pride
• Families or friends wearing the best red, white, and blue fashions
