Penn Wynne's 4th Of July Parade, Carnival Canceled

PENN WYNNE, PA — July 4 events across the country will not look the same this year thanks to the coronavirus. Many cities and towns have been forced to cancel the annual Fourth of July events, including Penn Wynne. Although typical parade and carnival have been canceled, they have been replaced with a car parade.

Penn Wynne Civic Association and Penn Wynne Fire Company will host a "car parade" throughout Penn Wynne on Independence Day.

Members of the community are invited to participate in the parade by decorating their vehicles in all things patriotic.

The route begins at Suffolk Road and Trent Lane, progressing down Trent Lane to Braddock Lane where it will turn up Henley Road to Remington Road. Then the route will go down Harrowgate Road/Overbrook Parkway, then to Surrey Road back to Trent Road before turning onto Westwold Lane. The route will then head south briefly on Haverford Road before quickly turning onto Andover Road before turning onto Allendale Road then Broadlawn Road. It will then turn north on Wiltshire Road then turn onto Yarmouth Road before heading onto Garden Road then Overbrook Road. From Overbrook Road, the route will head north on Haverford Road then on Manoa Road where it will end at Penn Wynne Park.

Vehicles will drive along the route from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Parade vehicles will stage at 9:30 a.m.

Those interested in participating in the parade should email admin@pwcivic.org.
