Preparations are now underway for the Town of Merrimack's Annual 4th of July Celebration and we would like to invite you to join us in this year's Parade.

The Town of Merrimack's Annual 4th of July Parade is organized by the Merrimack Parks & Recreation Department and is one of the largest Independence Day Parades in the State of New Hampshire. In 2019; we had more than 70 floats and more than 1100 participants as part of the
Parade. We are expecting an even larger turnout this year. The Annual 4th of July Parade features a wide range of bands, militia units, clowns, local businesses, community organizations and more.

Participate in the Parade:
Participating can be as easy as putting a decorating a bicycle or a vehicle and just riding along or can be a highly decorated float. It is a great way to show your patriotism and get some free advertising for your business or organization at the same time! We want the parade to be a fun, family friendly event for all to enjoy and the more local groups that participate, the better! There is no cost to participate but advanced registration is required by Friday, July 1st, 2022.

Parade Route:

The Parade lines up at the Commons Shopping Plaza (located at 515 Daniel Webster Highway.) The parade travels south down Daniel Webster Highway. It then takes a right onto Baboosic Lake Road and travels past Mastricola School and then takes a left onto O'Gara Drive. The parade concludes in front of Merrimack High School. The entire route is 1.5 miles long.

We understand that your organization might have other commitments on this important holiday, but hope that you will consider joining our spectacular line-up of drum and bugles corps, marching bands, and other entertaining participants!
