Image from past July Fourth parade.Plainfield's July Fourth parade will step off at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 3, Recreation Superintendent Dave Wynn said.
About 40 entries will take part, he said. The parade route begins at Johnston Avenue and proceeds along East Front Street to a reviewing stand at the Park-Madison plaza downtown.
A fireworks display will begin at 9:30 p.m. on July 2 in Cedar Brook Park.
Wynn said the details might be on the city's web site as early as today.
Nightclub owner Edison Garcia has already received approvals for a two-day Independence Day fiesta downtown on July 3 and 4, in Municipal Lot 8 north of stores between Somerset Street and Watchung Avenue. Garcia's plans call for an all-day festival on Saturday, July 3 and a delayed start at 1 p.m. on Sunday, July 4, to allow for the parade. Now that Wynn has revealed the schedule, adjustments may have to be made. Click here to read Plaintalker's post on the fiesta.

Fotunately it will be very safe and there should be no shootings. All the extra Police, Fire and City Hall workers there will be getting double time to watch the volunteers [who had to pay a entrance fee] march.
ReplyDeletewho needs fireworks and a parade? the parade is not what it use 2 be,and do like hoboken or is it jersey city, cancel the fireworks.no more moneyyyyyyyyyy.why are we spending money,we dont have.
ReplyDeleteWhy are we still spending this money? This is as bad as the PMUA's Environmental Fair which they hold in Sept. The bill runs $30k easy. What a waste of our money!
ReplyDeleteWhy spend money we "don't have"??? These folks can lay people off and get rid off essential services but still find money to have VIP tents for themselves and their cronies. I'll be at the VIP taking pictures and will publish them via twitter, YouTube, and Facebook. Shame Shame Shame!!!
