Find the Best Shade Along the Parade Route Today

Feasterville Trevose, PA · July 4, 2026

The humidity is already hanging heavy over the asphalt on Bustleton Pike, but that won't stop the lawn chairs from lining up early. If you’re heading out for the festivities, grab a spot on the north side of the street to keep the sun at your back.

📰 The Lead

The tradition continues this morning as the Independence Day Parade takes over the main thoroughfare. Starting at 9:00 AM, the procession moves from the intersection of Second Street Pike down to the Township Building on Bridgetown Pike. This year’s event features a record number of local fire companies, youth sports teams, and the ever-popular Mummers string bands.

Spectators are already claiming spots with folding chairs along the route to catch the classic car show that precedes the main march. Local police have cordoned off the main thoroughfare, so expect significant detours until at least noon. It’s more than just a parade; it’s the one day a year where the entire community seems to occupy the same three-mile stretch of road. Once the final float passes, the festivities shift to local backyards and community pools for the afternoon.
