Join Us for Stow's Spectacular 68th Annual Fourth of July Parade!

Celebrate America!  Celebrate Community!

The City of Stow Parks & Recreation Department is thrilled to invite the community to its most exciting parade yet, celebrating a historic milestone — America’s 250th anniversary.

With the theme “Celebrate America! Celebrate Community!” this year’s parade will bring residents, local organizations, and businesses together in a vibrant display of patriotism and community pride. Spectators can expect festive floats, marching groups, music, and plenty of red, white, and blue as we honor our nation’s past, present, and future.

“This is a once-in-a-generation celebration,” said Mayor John Pribonic. “We’re excited to showcase the spirit of Stow while celebrating 250 years of American history alongside our community.”

Families, friends, and neighbors are encouraged to line the parade route, wave their flags, and join in this special celebration of unity and hometown pride.

Additional details, including parade route, registration information, and event timing, will be announced soon.
