Official news about the City of Cedar Park from the City of Cedar Park.   
Everyone has a role to play to reduce and slow the spread of COVID-19:
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face covering.
  • When you go out in public stay at least 6 feet from other people.
  • Wash your hands frequently. Use hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.
We're starting your day of celebrating off right with neighborhood pop-up parades! In consideration of conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic, The City is planning some alternative community fun in celebration of Independence Day this year. The annual July 4 th  events take many months of planning and advance commitments with vendors. Given the uncertainty during the past few months, we've done our best to create something unique, special and memorable for the community.

We're bringing pop-up parades to some of Cedar Park’s largest neighborhoods.
  • A few City vehicles will be coming by in a short 10 minute parade
  • The vehicles will be decorated in their “Fourth of July finest.”
  • Neighborhoods and timelines were strategically chosen to keep firefighters within their respective fire districts.
  • We encourage everyone across Cedar Park to join in the Independence Day spirit by decorating homes and front lawns in a patriotic theme. Be sure to post your decked-out porch portraits on social media with #iheartcedarpark so we can share the fun!
WE NEED YOU TO:
  • Dress in your patriotic best
  • Decorate your house—maybe even a pet or two—in red, white and blue
  • Find a spot along a route (stay with your family at a safe distance from others)
  • Wave your American flags and cheer as the vehicles pass.
Fireworks Canceled
After much thought and careful deliberation, we regret to announce the cancelation of the July 4th fireworks. We know this is disappointing, but appreciate your understanding while we take these steps to keep our community and staff safe during this COVID-19 pandemic.
