4th of July Parade |
July 4th is an Orinda tradition started by the Orinda
Association in the early 1980s as a way to celebrate not
only Independence Day, but also to celebrate
“community”. Thousands of citizens gather on this
special day to not only watch or participate in the
parade, but also attend the numerous other events
available throughout the day.
 The whole town gets involved beginning with the business
decorating contest in June. On July 4th there are events
for every age group starting with the annual Pancake
Breakfast, flag
raising
ceremony, fun run, parade, live music, food, games and
booths in the park following the parade. Everyone is
invited to participate in the planning, sponsor a booth
or event, participate in the parade, host a booth in the
park, or just come and enjoy the events.
The July 4th committee begins its work in January. We
always welcome new volunteers. There are many committees
with various time commitments to choose from. It is
great fun to be a
 part of this long-standing and very
well attended community project. Students will find a
great many ways to contribute volunteer hours for
community service as well.
To
sponsor an event click here for a sponsorship form.
Sponsors receive publicity in several issues of the
Orinda News, as well as on-going mention during the
parade, and acknowledgements in the park; a great way to
advertise your company, service or club.
 To
place an entry in the parade click here. Create a float,
a skit, or just march along with your group; it’s an
excellent opportunity to let the community know who you
are. Again, you have thousands of people of all generations
stopping by to find out more about you!
To
reserve a booth in the park click here.
