“We have a great parade this year, with about 25 wonderful bands from near and far, and some exciting new units mixed with some old favorites,” parade chairman Michael Blum said.

Participants will walk, skate, twirl and ride past the judges' booth, located near the Harford County Circuit Court building, before proceeding down South Main to Ildewild Street.

"If you want color guards, roller-derby skaters, pom-pom girls, Cub Scouts, Young Marines, baton twirlers, Boumi motorcyclists, contingents of soldiers from APG, monster trucks, floats from local churches and civic groups, local businesses, beauty queens, car dealers and more, all decked out celebrating the 4th of July, this is the parade for you!” Blum said.

The parade starts at 6 p.m. on Friday on North Main at Gordon streets.
