Barrington 4th of July Parade to Celebrate American Dreams

Join in celebrating our country’s Independence Day at Barrington’s annual 4th of July Parade to be held on Thursday, July 4th, 2013, at 10 a.m. The parade will run from Barrington High School to the train station and will celebrate the wonderful community spirit of Barrington with lively bands, classic cars, local performers, and decorative floats, all embodying this year’s theme:

"America – Land of Hopes and Dreams “Homegrown in Barrington”

This year’s parade will highlight America, a land of such great opportunity, where hopes and dreams can come to life with the belief that all things are possible. For many of our students, the chance to explore creative ideas, follow passions, and achieve success begins right here in Barrington. Leading the parade and highlighting the theme will be individuals and organizations from our community who have soared to great heights, lead the way in innovation, and are helping others achieve their Hopes and Dreams.

In addition to the parade, the committee will host Essay and Poster Contests with Barrington area school children as well as an annual Food Drive on the day of the parade itself. All donations will be given to the Barrington and Cuba Township food pantries to benefit local neighbors in need.

The Barrington 4th of July Parade is run by the 4th of July Parade Committee – an independent group of community volunteers dedicated to creating a fun family event and keeping the Patriotic Spirit alive as we celebrate the 4th of July.
