Parade: The signature event of the Celebration starts at 1 pm at the intersection of Park, High and Marble Streets. The parade marches down beautiful Park Street, through downtown, past our historic Town Hall, through Conant Square, and ends at Brandon Lumber (on Route 7, just about half-mile north of the Brandon Inn).

Music: The Parade will be full of great Music.  And don’t miss the free concert at Brandon Town Hall (1 Conant Square) starting at 3 pm.

Food: What kind of Independence Day Celebration would be complete without the grill, sweets, and some surprises? Hot dogs, hamburgers, BBQ chicken, Mexican, Sausage, and Steak & Cheese sandwiches, Wraps, Bread Dough, Fruit & Fruit drinks, Pie & Ice Cream, Cotton Candy, Shaved Ice and Maple products. Lots of vendors selling hand crafted items. Vendors will also be in the Park.

Family Activities and Games: The kids will love the Bounce House, petting zoo, pie-eating contest, ol’ fashioned games like sack races, relays and much more.  Special thanks to the Brandon Inn.

Silent Auction: Let’s face it, Celebrations cost money. Supporting the Silent Auction is the best way to “pay it forward”. Scores of donations are awaiting your bid!

The Great Ball Race: The Great Ball Race is part of the tradition. Purchase a “ball” for only $5; once you buy it, you own that ball’s number and it ensures it will be part of the Race. The Race takes place in Central Park at 3:00 pm.  Six cash prizes!

Fireworks: Come on over to Park Village (the old Brandon Training School) at 6:00 pm for food, fun, float winner announcements, and then count-down to the Fireworks. Brandon puts on a great show that you won’t want to miss. Donations appreciated.
