Celebrate the 21st Annual 4th at Firestone

The celebration of Independence Day in Firestone explodes with a day full of activities, including a patriotic parade, family fun, great food, and an evening event filled with music and fireworks. This year's festivities mark the 21st annual 4th at Firestone event on Tuesday, July 4, 2023.

PARADE: New Route!

Kick-off Independence Day with our beloved parade, starting at 10 a.m. Floats, decorated vehicle displays, marching bands, classic cars, motorcycles, and more will compile a parade lineup that residents and festival attendees will not want to miss. This is the perfect time for people to show their American pride by lining the streets in celebration.

In an attempt to keep the parade in Firestone, we have changed the parade route this year. Starting now on 4th Avenue, the route will weave through Historic Firestone and finish along First Street, as it has in years past. The parade route is approximately 1.1 miles from start to finish.
