This year, the Concord July 4th Parade proudly celebrates two historic milestones — the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 175th anniversary of California.
From the founding of our nation in 1776 to California’s statehood in 1850, this theme honors the people, progress, and spirit that have shaped our country and our state. It’s a chance to reflect on where we’ve been, celebrate where we are, and look ahead to the future of our communities.
We invite all parade participants to bring this theme to life with creativity and pride. Think patriotic colors, historical tributes, California culture, and forward-looking visions of what’s next. Whether you highlight key moments in history, local pride, or the innovation that defines our region today, this is your opportunity to tell a story that connects past, present, and future.
Let’s come together to create a meaningful, high-energy celebration that honors our shared heritage and showcases the best of Concord.
