2023 Fredericksburg Fourth of July Parade
The 2023 Fredericksburg Fourth of July Parade will take place on Tuesday, July 4, at 10 a.m. along Main Street.
The parade will begin lining up behind the Gillespie County Courthouse at 8 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.
There will be a free patriotic program immediately following the parade at Marktplatz in the 100 block of West Main Street. A band and patriotic messages will begin at about 11:30 a.m. Bring a sack lunch and enjoy the music.
Anyone interested in participating in the parade or becoming involved with the planning is encouraged to contact fbgparade@gmail.com 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 2023 parade begins promptly at 10 a.m. on Monday, 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.
