Welcome to the 2026 Hopkinton July 4 parade! This year marks the 250th anniversary of our country, so our theme is "Hopkinton Celebrates America's Birthday." This is a positive messaging event to show our patriotism, celebration, town pride, and togetherness.
Everyone is invited to join the parade. Volunteer organizations, town boards and committees, Police Department, Fire Department, DPW, other town departments, local businesses, houses of worship, scout troops, families, neighborhoods, individuals, you name it!
