Parade Route Details and Early Road Closures

Feasterville Trevose, PA · July 2, 2026

Flags are already fluttering along Bustleton Pike this morning. If you’re planning to cut through the center of town later today, keep an eye out for the first wave of orange cones marking the parade staging areas.

📰 The Lead

The Lower Southampton Independence Day Parade is the crown jewel of our local calendar, and the final logistics are locking into place this morning. Public Works crews are beginning to stage barricades along the 1.5-mile route down Bustleton Pike, stretching from Somerton Road to the Feasterville Shopping Center. While the march doesn't officially kick off until Saturday, "No Parking" zones go into effect on several key side streets starting tonight to ensure the larger floats have room to maneuver. This year’s lineup features over 100 entries, including the Philadelphia Mummers and our own local fire companies. Expect heavy pedestrian traffic near the township building today as vendors begin their early setup. Township officials are urging residents to scout their viewing spots now, as the curb space usually disappears long before the first whistle blows.

📸 Spotlight & Story

  • The General Davis House
    • This stone landmark at the corner of Street Road and Bustleton Pike has watched the town evolve since 1790. Originally a stagecoach stop and tavern, it once hosted travelers making the long trek between Philadelphia and New York. Today, its thick walls house modern offices, yet the original masonry remains a silent witness to over two centuries of local commerce.
