Elgin Fourth of July Parade 2025
July 4 @ 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.)
