Due to the Main Street bridge replacement, the parade will follow a new route beginning near Captain Joe\u2019s, traveling along Barker Road, and ending at Whitmore Lake Elementary School, where spectators can also find convenient parking and viewing areas. Attendees can expect festive floats, fire trucks, decorated bicycles, local organizations, school teams, and plenty of red, white, and blue spirit lining the streets, while this year\u2019s grand marshals, Whitmore Lake\u2019s three-time repeat Girls Cross Country Team, add an extra layer of local pride to the celebration. The day\u2019s festivities continue beyond the parade with community favorites like the Banana Split Eating Contest at Dee\u2019s Place and the nighttime Boat Parade of Lights on the lake, creating a full day of classic small-town Fourth of July fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.a2jaycees.org\/fourth-of-july-parade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Ann Arbor Jaycees\u2019 Fourth of July Parade<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Parade begins on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/S+State+St+%26+E+William+St,+Ann+Arbor,+MI+48109\/@42.2778509,-83.7433395,16z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x883cae40af162d29:0x2b21acc0ddcc0266!8m2!3d42.277847!4d-83.7407646!16s%2Fg%2F11hb982r2k?entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDUwNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">S State St and E William St, Ann Arbor<\/a>.<br>July 4th, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"95944\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/430main.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-1.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/430main.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/430main.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-1-120x120.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1094\" data-id=\"95946\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-2-1200x1094.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/430main.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-2-1200x1094.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/430main.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-2-600x547.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/430main.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-2-768x700.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/430main.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-2.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"693\" data-id=\"95945\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-3-1200x693.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/430main.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-3-1200x693.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/430main.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-3-600x346.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/430main.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-3-768x443.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/430main.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-3-1536x887.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/430main.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Jaycees-3.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">\ud83d\udcf7 <em>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.a2jaycees.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ann Arbor Jaycees<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The Ann Arbor Jaycees\u2019 Fourth of July Parade brings one of downtown Ann Arbor\u2019s most anticipated Independence Day traditions to life on Saturday, July 4th, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., beginning at South State Street and East William Street and weaving through the heart of the city.
