44th Annual Fourth of July Parade and Potluck

Join us for the 44th Annual Douglas Park Civic Association Fourth of July Parade and Potluck!
Help fund the event directly through our Venmo: @DPCA_Arl
Pay annual dues to the Douglas Park Civic Association, it helps us put on events like this:
10:00am – Gather at Monroe Park for parade and judging of the best parade floats, costumes, and decorated bikes. (Contact the Civic Association if you would like to apply for a grant to offset the cost of creating a float)
10:30am – Parade leaves from Monroe Park, proceeding along S Nelson Street to 18th St S, to S Quincy Street and into Douglas Park for the potluck.
There will be a waterslide, a moon bounce, and live music. This is a potluck 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.
Hot dogs will be provided by the Douglas Park Civic Association, and bring your own water bottles to fill with a water refill station.
12:00pm – The reading of the Declaration of Independence.
A special thank you to our neighbor Geeti Bawa who is our event Executive Coordinator!
