Annual Glen Rock 4th of July Parade
Friday, July 4 at 9:30 AM
The parade kicks off from Glen Rock High School and winds through town, rain or shine. Expect a lively mix of marching bands, Civil War reenactors, floats, clowns, and community spirit in every step. This year’s Grand Marshals are the Thomas Egan VFW Post #850, honored for their service to our country. Special thanks to Suka Jewelry for supporting their recognition.

Route: East on Harristown Road, left on Highland, left onto Rock Road through downtown, then right on Doremus to end at the Municipal Pool lot.

4th of July Food Drive
The Religious Communities of Glen Rock will collect non-perishable food and cash donations during the parade to benefit the Social Service Association of Ridgewood and the Center for Food Action. A great way to celebrate by giving back.
