Let freedom ring at a Fourth of July Parade

MARION — Having a blast on the Fourth of July doesn’t always require fireworks. Marion’s Independence Day Parade will begin on Friday, July 4 at 9 a.m. in the ball field behind the Marion Town House.

The parade will feature a veteran-guided float, antique cars, tractors and a fire apparatus, in addition to appearances from the Boy Scouts, Wareham Militia and Minutemen, Burr Brothers, Rusty Nuts Car Club and J. Sull Wine among other businesses and organizations.

The parade route proceeds as follows:

• East on Main Street to Spring Street
• North on Spring Street to Route 6
• East on Route 6 to Front Street
• South on Front Street to Main Street
• West on Main Street to the ball field for disbanding

Following the parade, an award ceremony will be held to honor outstanding floats.
