Full Notification

Join us as the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce hosts the 5th Annual Independence Day Parade and Concert on Saturday, July 4, beginning at 10:00 AM.

This year is especially meaningful as communities across the nation celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America. Come dressed in your red, white, and blue as we honor 250 years of freedom, patriotism, and the enduring spirit of our nation.

The Cloverdale Police Department invites everyone to be part of this unforgettable celebration. New this year is the Parade Water Splash Zone! Kids big and small are encouraged to bring their squirt guns and water blasters to cool off and join in the fun as the parade passes through the designated splash zone.

Don't miss the opportunity to meet Police Chief Chris Parker as he celebrates his final Fourth of July Parade before retirement after years of dedicated service to the Cloverdale community. The Chief will be joined by special guests from a galaxy far, far away including The Mandalorian, Kylo Ren, Bo-Katan, and Boba Fett (cos characters) who will be interacting with spectators throughout the parade.

After the parade, continue the celebration in Downtown Cloverdale's City Plaza, where Wonder Bread 5 will take the stage beginning at 11:00 AM. Bring your lawn chairs, enjoy great music, and celebrate America's 250th birthday with family, friends, and neighbors in the heart of our community.
