July 4 PARADE/CEREMONY – Parade starts at 2 p.m. and will proceed south on Main Street from Downtown to Sawyer Park.

Note from Police: In advance of the July 4th festivities, the Hartford Police Department would like to pass important information along about traffic flow both with the parade and the fireworks. If you are traveling the area during the time of the parade, be aware the parade begins at 2 p.m. and no one will be allowed to enter the parade route once it has begun. The route begins on N Main Street at High St. and travels south on Main Street ending at E Monroe Ave. It is very important you plan to route yourself around the parade if you need to travel east or west through Hartford.

If you are attending the firework display in Independence Park, drive with caution as it is anticipated there will be a large volume of vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area. Upon conclusion of the fireworks, there will be HPD officers enforcing a specific pattern of egress for traffic leaving the event for a more orderly dispersal. This may mean you may not be able to go in the desired direction when you leave. If that is the case, please follow the direction of the officer for their safety and yours.
The image above shows the egress pattern from a few of the area streets following the fireworks. Please share this with anyone you think may be attending. For those parked on E Monroe Ave., you will likely be instructed to leave in the direction you were facing when you parked prior to the fireworks.
Please drive with due regard for others so we can make this another successful event.

FIREWORKS: The City of Hartford will hold the July 4 fireworks at Independence Park, 880 S. Wilson Avenue in Hartford which will commence at dusk.
