About the Parade
2021 Fredericksburg Fourth of July Parade
The 2021 Fredericksburg Fourth of July Parade is scheduled to take place on Sunday, July 4, at 1 pm along Main Street. Plans are being made for this year’s 30th-anniversary parade to honor our nation’s independence. Parade organizers have received approval and permission from the City of Fredericksburg to move forward with the parade.
This year, the Fourth of July falls on a Sunday, which means that the parade will begin promptly at 1 p.m. There will be a short patriotic program at 11:30 a.m. at Marktplatz. There will be no program following the main parade. For 2021, we are happy to announce that FBG.live will broadcast the parade live at 1:00 p.m. from the 100 block of East Main Street.
The parade will begin lining up behind the Gillespie County Courthouse at 11:00 a.m. The parade proceeds east on Main Street to the intersection of Main and Washington Street. It will U-turn there and go west to Bowie Street. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or park a vehicle along the route to enjoy the parade.
Anyone interested in participating in the parade or becoming involved with the planning is encouraged to contact fbgparade@gmail.org for more information.
Originally started in 1991 by a group of community-minded friends, this small-town patriotic parade has grown over the years to be loved by many. The 2021 parade begins promptly at 1 P.M. on Sunday, July 4th, and heads east on Main Street to the Nimitz Museum. It then makes a U-turn and goes west on Main all the way to Bowie Street. Bring your lawn chairs for a great seat or use the tailgate of your pick-up to enjoy.
Come out and join us for this great Fourth of July tradition. Every entry is decorated with red, white, and blue. Please note, for 2021 health and safety, we are asking participants and attendees to pre-screen before coming to the event and to maintain social distance per CDC guidelines.
