Elgin Fourth of July Parade
July 4, 2025 @ 8:30 am - 12:30 pm
Join the Elgin Township Democrats in Elgin’s Fourth of July Parade!
The parade steps off Friday, July 4th at 9am at Slade and Douglas Avenue. Please join the Elgin Dems float by 8:30am.
The Elgin Dems will be staged at Grove A. This should be the section of Grove Ave between Slade and Lincoln. (You can ask a gate captain at N Grove Ave and Ann St for directions to Grove A if you need them.)
Dress for the weather and wear an Elgin / Kane County Democrats or candidate shirt if you have one. Signs are encouraged as well.
(Do you have a friend who feels they need to march too? Invite them along to meet with like minded people. The camaraderie and conversation with others who try to make a positive difference can help.)
Parking and Shuttle Service
Many parade participants and spectators like to park in the downtown area near the end of the parade route. Parking is available in the free parking decks (please see map for details: https://elginil.gov/1852/Parking-in-Elgin).
Shuttle service for parade participants is available in the surface lot at 200 N. Grove Avenue, Elgin, IL 60120 (former Gail Borden Library site) north of the Hemmens. This service allows participants to either be dropped off near their staging position or to park near downtown. The shuttle service is not for spectators. The shuttle will start running at 7:00AM. The last shuttle pick-up will be at 8:10AM.
