4th of July Parade
Advertisement
Bigfork knows how to throw a party. And when it’s our country’s birthday, Bigfork really knows how to celebrate. Centerpiece of the celebration is the annual parade through Bigfork which begins at noon. Bring your whole family to view our great parade to celebrate the birth of our country. The 4th of July Parade in Bigfork has been voted “Best Parade in the Flathead” year after year.
There will be food trucks and music by the Fetveit Brothers starting at 10am in the parking lot on Grand Avenue.
Following the parade, the popular rubber duck race will take place. The Ducks for Bucks race gets underway on the Wild Mile of the Swan River. Proceeds from Ducks for Bucks will pay for prizes and a scholarship for a deserving senior from Bigfork High School.
For everyone to have a clear view of the parade, there will be no cars allowed in downtown Bigfork after 8 am on the 4th. Parking is available at the intersection of Highway 35 and Highway 82, with shuttles to downtown.
This year, parade organizers are paying extra care to the energy and messages from participants both in and watching the parade. We are asking that all individuals attending the parade in any capacity remember this is a community event – welcoming to all and strictly non-partisan. Please keep this in mind if you are planning to attend or participate in the parade. Any person or float that is deemed by parade organizers as offensive or political will be removed from the event. We are proud of where we live in and excited to invite the Flathead Valley to this non-partisan celebration of America’s birthday. Campaigning Candidates are allowed to participate with respectful campaign signage only.
Horses, clowns, fire trucks and floats of all designs stream down Grand and Electric Avenues cheered on by huge crowds of spectators all along the way. If you would like to be in the parade, we’d love to have you.
