Before we know it, here in The Woodlands Texas, the sizzling fire of mid summer will reach into our midst and we will want to be outside to be part of it. July 4th promises to be better than ever this year. South County's theme this year is “Only in America”. The Grand Marshall of this July 3rd event will be state senator Tommy Williams.
The parade begins at 9:00 AM on Saturday, July 3rd and runs through the Market Street area of The Woodlands Town Center. Family members of all ages will enjoy fire engines, clowns, horses, and parade floats. Also featured will be participants in the 5th Annual Marching Band Scholarship Program. Band entries will receive at a minimum $1000 in support of their program.
Last year, there were approximately 145 entries with 2,000 to 3,000 participants. This year, the committee anticipates 20,000 to 25,000 in attendance. The parade route is approximately 1.3 miles; it will begin and end at The Woodlands United Methodist Church on Lake Woodlands. Roads on the route will be closed during the parade. To participate in the Parade or to sponsor this great annual event, you can find additional information on-line at the 4th of July Committee’s website: www.4thofjuly.org. The parade will be accompanied by other community events in The Woodlands to also commemorate this patriotic holiday: + Star Spangled Salute at the Cynthia Woods Michelle Pavilion, July 3rd starting at 8:00 PM. + Splash Day at the 13 community pools in The Woodlands, July 3rd from 12:00 PM-4:00 PM. + Concert in the Park at North Shore Park, July 4th at 7:00PM. + Red, Hot and Blue Festival™ at Town Green Park, July 4th at 6:00 PM. + Fireworks Extravaganza at The Waterway, July 4th beginning at dusk, approximately 8:30 PM
