Monmouth County's "Red, White & You!" America's Big Birthday Parade and Family Festival will take place this Sunday, June 28th in Middletown.
Featuring more than 1,000 parade participants, the event will showcase colorful floats, decorated vehicles, marching bands, musical performances, patriotic displays, and special attractions for all ages.
The parade begins at 12:30 PM at the Middletown Train Station and will travel along Church Street, Kings Highway, New Monmouth Road, Cherry Tree Farm Road, and into Mater Dei Park (23 Cherry Tree Farm Road).
Road closures will begin at approximately 9:00 AM, with Route 35 closing at 11:30 AM. Motorists should expect delays, plan alternate routes, and allow extra travel time.
