Ann Arbor Jaycees 4th of July Parade
2026-07-04 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Detroit) | Main Street Area, Main Street and Liberty, Ann Arbor , MI, 48104, Downtown, United States
The Ann Arbor Jaycees Fourth of July Parade & Festival is returning downtown for 2025!

The parade also returns to its mostly traditional route:

North on State from William to Liberty

West on Liberty from State to Main

South on Main from Liberty to William

East on William from Main to Thompson

Don't miss running or watching the Firecracker 5K before the parade.

Do you want to march in the parade? The Jaycees are holding a fundraising raffle to support the parade. Purchase a raffle ticket for a chance to walk with the Grand Marshall (along with an amazing gift basket, parade t-shirt, and vouchers for food & drink from local vendors).

The Ann Arbor Fire Department's Firefighter's Spray Park will be held after the parade.

The Ann Arbor 4th of July parade has traditionally been one of the best local parades. It typically lasts 45+ minutes and features many local organizations, businesses, and groups. Between construction causing route changes, the pandemic, more construction, and a temporary, move to Briarwood the parade has shrunk in recent years, and late route approval due to the construction. Hopefully, we see the parade return to its former state soon.
