The 31st Annual Douglas Park 4th of July Parade and Picnic

All Douglas Park residents are invited to our annual Parade and Picnic. The neighborhood gathers in Monroe Park (14th St S at S Monroe St) at 10am on the 4th for judging of the best parade floats, costumes, decorated bikes, and the coveted prize of Mr and Ms Douglas Park. The parade itself starts at 10:30am from Monroe Park, proceeding along S Nelson Street to 18th St S, to S Quincy Street and into Douglas Park for the picnic. There will be live music, a moonbounce and sno-cones.

It is a pot-luck picnic, so bring your finest recipes to share. Free water and hot dogs provided by the Douglas Park Civic Association.

At noon, there will be a reading of the Declaration of Independence.

See you there! And Happy birthday, USA!
