ANNUAL FOURTH OF JULY PARADE
The Jenkintown Volunteer Fire Department is once again proud to sponsor the Borough’s Annual 4th of July Celebration. This year’s Celebration will begin with the parade that has been scheduled to take place on Tuesday, July 4th, at 10:00 A.M., with a rain date of Saturday, July 8th, at 10:00 A.M.
The Parade will again Feature all of our local fire trucks, Color Guard, bands and decorated bikes for children. In addition, various community service groups including The Boys Scouts and J.Y.A. will also be in attendance. Being a safety-oriented organization, we would ask that any child under the age of 12 riding a bike through the parade route wear a bike safety helmet.
This year’s Parade Route will begin on Leedom Street and Greenwood Avenue. It will proceed North on Leedom Street to Hillside Avenue, West on Hillside Avenue to Walnut Street, South on Walnut Street to West Avenue and commence at the Town Square on Leedom Street.
At the conclusion of the Parade, prizes will be awarded in the Town Square for the Best Decorated Bikes. This year’s awards will be divided into three (3) categories, Strollers & Wagons, Tricycles and Bikes. We will also feature games for all ages, including the “Peanut Scramble,” “Egg Toss,” and various other games.
As is tradition, the Volunteer Firefighters will be serving hot dogs and cold beverages at the Pioneer Fire Company at the conclusion of the parade.
Please join all of your friends, family and neighbors for this exciting Family oriented event!
Please have a Safe and Happy Independence Day Holiday and Enjoy your Parade Celebration!
See you on the Parade route or in Town Square Tuesday morning!
