37th Annual Douglas Park Fourth of July Parade and Picnic

All Douglas Park residents are invited to the 37th Annual Douglas Park Fourth of July Parade and Picnic.

The neighborhood will gather in Monroe Park (14th St S at S Monroe St) at 10 am on Thursday, July 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 a waterslide, a moonbounce and sno-cones.

This is a pot-luck picnic, so bring your finest recipes to share:

Folks with last names beginning with A-M are asked to bring a side dish.
Folks with last names beginning with N-Z are asked to bring a dessert.

Free water and hot dogs provided by the Douglas Park Civic Association.

At noon, there will be a reading of the Declaration of Independence. If you would like to volunteer to be one of our readers for the Declaration, please email me!

See you there!
