Central Gardens July 4th Parade

Central Gardens Association invites the community to attend their July 4th Parade, located near the 1800 block of York Ave. The parade route will start in the rear parking lot of Immaculate Conception Cathedral (IC), will march eastward to the 1800 block of York, and then circle the median to return toward the IC parking lot. All post-parade activities will take place just outside the IC lot.

Children are encouraged to dress in their favorite costumes to celebrate America’s independence. In addition to the parade itself, a “Make and Take” crafts table and tent will be available at 9 a.m., to help children decorate bicycles, wagons, and trikes. Hotdogs will be provided for free by MemphisDawgs and free popsicles will be served by MemPops. Live Music will be provided by the Memphis Second Line Brass Band and more. Guests are invited to bring blankets or folding chairs and picnic baskets with their own goodies to enjoy the day’s activities.
