Bala Cynwyd July 4th Parade & Carnival

The parade features neighborhood children riding decorated bicycles, marchers in costumes, clowns, jugglers, stilt walkers, floats, fire trucks, police, and public officials.  The decorated bicycles and floats are judged prior to the start of the parade and awards are given to the winners during the Carnival.

The parade begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Bala Cynwyd Fire House and 149 Montgomery Avenue and ends at Bala Cynwyd Park at 398 Trevor Lane around 10:00 a.m.

The Carnival, which begins at the conclusion of the parade, includes a brief patriotic program followed by games, rides, running races, and the always popular egg toss.  A variety of food options both kosher and non-kosher are available, including traditional hot dogs, soda and pretzels sponsored by the Bala Cynwyd Fire Hose, as well as food tents from local restaurants.
