Celebrate the 4th of July in Downtown Woodstock!

The huge parade kicks off at 10:00a.m. in Downtown Woodstock. The route will go down Highway 92 (old Walmart/Furniture for Less Store) and goes north on Main Street through Downtown Woodstock to Woodstock Elementary School on Rope Mill Road. After the parade, the holiday fun will continue in The Park at City Center (101 Arnold Mill Road) until 3p.m. Food, live music by the Parrot Island Band in the gazebo, games, a cake walk, arts and crafts and plenty of other offerings from local vendors will be available.
