Leesburg Independence Day Parade
2024-07-04 09:15 - 12:30 (America/New_York)
The post will be participating in the Leesburg Independence Day Parade. Come join us as we ride and walk from Ida Lee park through the Old Town.
The parade will start at Ida Lee Park, travel down King Street and conclude at Fairfax Street. Put on your patriotic best and join your friends and neighbors to celebrate the birthday of the United States!
This year’s parade will also feature the 15th annual Patriot’s Cup Competition, sponsored by the Loudoun Now newspaper. This award will go to the best parade entry; winners’ names will be engraved on the Patriot Cup, which will be on display at Town Hall.
A real patriot treat for the parade is the parade prelude of the American Originals fife & Drum Corps sponsored by Toth Financial! This patriotic group will travel the parade route beginning at 9:45am from Ida Lee Park and stop throughout the route for short performances for the crowd to enjoy!
*King Street will close to through-traffic at 9:30 am in preparation for the parade. Downtown streets will re-open at approximately 12 pm.
