Parade
Thousands come out for our two-hour-long parade. If you like fire trucks, old cars, floats, marching bands, string bands, and the loudest calliope you’ll ever hear, this is your parade. It starts at High and Keim Sreets in Pottstown’s East End at 10:15 a.m., following a three-man formation flyover. At Adams Street, the fire trucks are added to the route through Historic Downtown Pottstown. At the Town Clock at High and Charlotte Streets, WPAZ broadcasts live. Are you thirsty? The Boy Scouts and other groups sell water along the route.
Hungry? Stop in for breakfast at the Goodwill Fire Company at High and Bailey Streets, or lunch on the sidewalk in front of the Elks, caddy corner from the Borough Hall at High and York Streets. Where to sit? If you like crowds, downtown is the place to be. If you want to enjoy the parade in the shade, you’ll like it in front of the Hill School. There is no parking along the parade route. Check the URL below for FREE downtown parking lot locations. http://www.pottstown.org/pdf/maps/parkinglots.pdf Bus service will be available on the 4th, and FREE parking will be available at the MCCC West Campus. |
Feeling Patriotic? Buy a flag for $1.00 and help the committee, or buy one of the souvenir caps for $5.00. Since 1985, the price hasn’t gone up, and these collector’s items go fast. Just wave down a golf cart for a hat or flag.
