UPPER SALFORD » The 33rd annual Red, White & Blue Parade, sponsored by the volunteer Upper Salford Citizen’s Group, will be 10 a.m. Saturday, July 3.
“Yes! The Red, White, and Blue Parade will take place this year. Please note the parade will be on Saturday, July 3 and not on July 4,” parade information says. “Unfortunately, we will not have hotdogs and cake at the Upper Salford Volunteer Firehouse, but we will gather at the end of the parade to award prizes for bikes, walkers, floats, as we normally do.”
2021 Parade Information:
• LINE UP: Line up at 9:30 on Potato Road. ALL are welcome to participate, whether it’s in your car (all cars are welcome – not just antique cars this year), tractor, float, bicycles, or walkers.
