Mount Prospect 4th of July Festivities
The Village of Mount Prospect 4th of July Parade will take place on Thursday, July 4, 2019 starting at 1pm at the corner of Emerson Street and Prospect Avenue. The parade will follow Prospect Avenue and Central Road and end at Melas Park. The event is sponsored by the Mount Prospect Special Events Commission. The parade will feature floats, bands, decorated vehicles, walkers, bikes and more. The parade is televised and shown on the local cable channel several times throughout the summer months.
Village officials remind attendees to drink plenty of water throughout the parade and weekend to avoid any health issues in potentially warm summer weather. Please keep children close by - it is difficult for drivers to see little ones darting out to get candy. Please stay on the curb, so everyone can enjoy the parade.
