Fourth of July Holiday Happenings

If you haven’t already flown the coop this holiday weekend, there is no need to look any further than downtown Edmonds for a traditional lineup patriotic of 4th of July events. A big thanks to the for donating a $25,000 grant to the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce in support of an Edmonds Kind of 4th. 

Starting Monday morning with the popular and always adorable “Kiddies” parade, and ending at dusk with an exhilarating fireworks show, the day holds a plethora of great entertainment, spaced perfectly to allow for an all-American cookout before the big pyrotechnics display.

According to KIRO 7, the weather is supposed to be warm (in the mid-70’s) but we won’t hold our breath—cloudy weather has never stopped the Edmonds community from donning their colors and celebrating the great country we are privileged to call home.

Here’s the lineup for the day: 

10:00 a.m. Fun-Run: Hosted by Running in Motion, the 5K Fun-Run will take place at the Edmonds Civic Track.

11:30 a.m. Children’s Parade: Costumes, pets, bikes and strollers! A red, white and blue menagerie of pint-sized patriotism.

12:00 p.m. Main Parade: Local businesses, classic cars, drill teams and music are just a few of the entrants you will see on the parade route.

2:30 p.m. Edmonds Firefighters Waterball Competition: Bring a picnic to City Park and watch local firefighters compete with their water hoses to see which team can get a large hanging buoy across to the other team’s side.

7:30 p.m. Evening Entertainment: Before the fireworks, enjoy live music from the local group the Side Project.

10:00 p.m. Fireworks! (Civic Stadium 6th & Bell)
