64th Annual Newtown Labor Day Parade

Celebrate Labor Day at one of Bucks County's favorite community traditions during the 64th Annual Newtown Labor Day Parade. This family-friendly parade brings together marching bands, decorated floats, local businesses, community organizations, classic vehicles, first responders, veterans, youth groups, and performers for a festive morning through the heart of historic Newtown. Whether you're a longtime resident or visiting for the holiday weekend, the parade is a great way to experience the town's community spirit and small-town charm.

The parade travels through historic Newtown Borough, allowing spectators to enjoy the festivities from multiple viewing locations along the route.
