Yorktown’s 4th of July Parade

July 4 @ 9:00 am 10:00 am

🎉 One of the most exciting events of the day is the annual parade! People line the streets in Historic Yorktown as groups of musicians, politicians, civic groups, and performers pass by, waving to the crowds and handing out flags. Listen to patriotic tunes from DJ Ben Herrick and the Fifes and Drums of York Town. If you’re wondering where to set up your chairs and blankets, the route starts at the Yorktown Beach Picnic Area on Water Street (by the fishing pier), moves down Water Street, up Ballard Street, and then takes a left onto Main Street, ending near the Victory Monument. 🎺🇺🇸

🚗 The big question is always where to park. Your best bet is to stick to the outskirts of town and walk down to the fun. While the parade doesn’t start until 9, traffic will get congested quickly, so we recommend arriving early to secure your parking spot.

🚙 Try the York-Poquoson Courthouse or Administration Building first (both on Ballard Street). From 8:45 to 10 a.m., Water Street will be closed from Read to Mathews Street and Ballard Street will be closed from Water Street to Alexander Hamilton Boulevard. All traffic arriving from Alexander Hamilton Boulevard via George Washington Memorial Highway (Rt. 17) will be directed away from the parade route. The town will re-open to vehicular traffic following the parade.

🌟 Come early and enjoy the parade!
