Stow’s Fourth of July Parade to Celebrate America, Community, and the Future!
Stow’s Fourth of July Parade to Celebrate America, Community, and the Future with Grand Marshal “The AMP”
The City of Stow is excited to announce the return of its beloved Fourth of July Parade on Sat., July 4, 2026, stepping off at 10:00 AM along Kent Road. This year’s parade theme, “Celebrate America, Celebrate Community,” honors the people, traditions, organizations, and shared experiences that continue to shape Stow as our nation approaches America’s 250th anniversary.
Adding to the excitement, the City proudly announces this year’s Grand Marshal: The AMP — Stow’s future outdoor amphitheater and gathering space that is already bringing the community together before construction is even complete.
“The AMP represents connection, celebration, creativity, and community spirit — values that perfectly align with what the Fourth of July Parade means to Stow,” said Mayor John Pribonic. “As we celebrate our nation’s history and look ahead to the future, The AMP symbolizes the next chapter of gathering together as a community.”
Currently under development at 1680 Norton Road, The AMP has already generated excitement through community pop-up events and public engagement initiatives designed to bring residents together and build momentum for the future venue.
The annual parade remains one of Stow’s largest and most cherished traditions, drawing thousands of spectators and featuring community organizations, decorated floats, marching groups, businesses, performers, and patriotic displays. Parade organizers invite residents and participants to creatively embrace this year’s theme by showcasing what makes Stow and America strong: community.
The parade begins at the Stow Community Center/Target Plaza area and travels down Kent Road toward Holy Family Church. Community members are encouraged to arrive early, wear patriotic colors, and celebrate together with friends, family, and neighbors.
Parade entry registration is currently open through June 5, 2026 or until full. Additional parade information, procedures, and event updates can be found at: Stow Fourth of July Parade Information
