Happy Fourth of July!
Message From President Buckley:

The Fourth of July in Whitefish Bay is a special day.

During my Civic Foundation years, our goal was to have the best Fourth of July parade, festival, and fireworks in the Milwaukee area. Our Village is blessed to have so many volunteers who step forward and make that happen, from the Civic Foundation to the Auxiliary Police who help with traffic.

I hope to see you all on the Fourth, and please join me in thanking all the people who run the best show in town, and Sendik’s for lighting up our sky with fireworks.

Parade details, festival information, and rules/reminders can be found below. -kb
Parade Route:

The Fourth of July parade route is going to look a little different this year. To allow for people to spread out and gather safely, the Whitefish Bay Civic Foundation has elongated the parade route.

Whitefish Bay’s Fourth of July parade will begin at 11:30 a.m. and travels from Kent Ave. & Silver Spring Dr., east to Silver Spring Dr. & Marlborough Dr., south to Marlborough Dr. & Chateau Pl., ending at the northeast corner of Cahill Park. We anticipate the parade ending at 1:00 p.m. Please note: For the sake of safety, candy will not be distributed during the parade this year.
Rules and Reminders:

As in past years, the following rules are in place for the Fourth of July festivities:
  • Chairs and blankets cannot be placed along the parade route and at Klode Park until 6:00 a.m. on July 4.
  • During the parade, please keep children at the curb on the parade route. There are moving vehicles / large floats that can severely injure a child running into the street.
  • Picnic tables cannot be removed from the picnic area.
  • Please note that tablecloths do not “hold” a table.
  • If during the day you wish to put up large umbrellas, awnings or tents, please put them toward the side of the park. Come fireworks time, please take the awnings, umbrellas, and tents down.
  • Rule for personal fireworks: If it flies, if it explodes, if it causes fire on ignition or sustains fire, it’s illegal. Enjoy the Sendik’s fireworks show at the park! Leave it to the professionals and be considerate of your neighbors.
