2024 4th of July Parade
Saturday July 6, 10:00 am
Join the town of Blowing Rock for the best small-town Main Street parade you’ll find anywhere! Local families, musicians, organizations, and characters celebrate the holiday with a patriotic procession. The parade is usually 40 minutes to an hour long.
*PLEASE NOTE the 10am Parade Time!
In addition, Main Street will be closed to parking from midnight the night before, to just after the parade (12am-11am on July 6). No parking on Main Street for the parade will ensure better visibility and safety! To make parking easy, a complimentary shuttle service will run from the parking lot at Shoppes on the Parkway to Main Street, beginning at 8:00am. The shuttle will run continuously through 4:30 pm.
The Parade Route is from 221/Yonahlossee Rd., the intersection with Mellow Mushroom and The Speckled Trout, down Main St. until it reaches BRAHM and turns down Ginny Stevens Ln.
After the parade, enjoy the festivities in Memorial Park as well as the food trucks listed below, holiday shopping and dining around town until ready to return to your vehicle, then check out what’s new at Shoppes on the Parkway!
Food Trucks Attending this year are:
Little Red’s Wagon
Pop’s Puckers
