MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR SHEPHERDSTOWN'S 2025 4TH OF JULY PARADE!Shepherdstown WV will hold its annual 4th of July parade and community picnic again this year, so mark your calendars and plan to attend.
As always, the parade and picnic will be held on the 4th itself, which is a Friday this year. Both events will be held rain or shine. Everyone is welcome at both, and admission to both is free.
The parade and picnic have been organized since 2007 by the Rotary Club of Shepherdstown. The goal is to provide wholesome, family-oriented 4th of July events that everyone can enjoy. If you're looking for an old-fashioned, small-town 4th of July celebration, this is it!
The parade will be held starting at 11:00 a.m. on German Street downtown. It will last about an hour.
Any area institution, organization, business, or individual in good standing is welcome to join in the parade. Floats are encouraged. Antique vehicles are always welcome. There is no fee to participate, but participants must register beforehand.

The picnic will be held right after the parade, from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m., in the pavilion at Morgan's Gove Park on Kearneysville Pike (Route 480) just southwest of town.
The picnic will feature live music and children's activities. The Rotary Club will be selling hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and non-alcoholic beverages at reasonable prices. All proceeds from those sales are used to help cover event costs. People can bring their own picnic lunches if they prefer.
Plenty of parade parking spaces will be available in the Shepherd University parking lots adjacent to downtown. There is also plenty of room for parking at Morgan's Grove Park.
