Friends of the Creek

Independence Day at the Creek

Fourth of July is almost here and with it comes the much-anticipated annual parade!

Flags billow in the wind, golf cart and ATV "floats" decked out for the occasion coast by, children bike along proudly, and members of the community happily march (or ride) along while waving to spectators that cheer from the sidelines - a small town is at its best during a parade, and our town is no different. Join us for our beloved Christopher Creek Annual Patriotic Parade Celebration this year to see it for yourself!

The annual Fourth of July parade will be held on Saturday, July 2nd, and will begin promptly at 10:30 AM at the Tall Pines Market next to Christopher Creek Lodge and will end at the Landmark Restaurant.

This is one of our favorite events of the year and not to be missed!
