INDEPENDENCE DAY Parade

Celebrate Independence Day by participating in Edina’s annual parade. The biggest community event of the year, the parade begins at 10 a.m., July 3, behind Edina City Hall, 4801 W. 50th St., and ends at the U.S. Bank parking lot at 50th Street and Halifax Avenue. Several thousand people attend the parade each year.

The 45-minute parade features veterans, marching bands, clowns, floats put together by neighborhood groups and community organizations and costumed character appearances.

The Independence Day Parade Planning Committee encourages veterans, members of associations, civic organizations or organized neighborhoods to march in the parade.
