Stars & Stripes Mini Parade with Shoebox Floats

Join the Fourth of July Shoebox Float Parade on Dartmouth Green and march through the celebration carrying your own miniature float. This kid-friendly parade invites participants to be part of the festivities, show off their creativity, and celebrate Independence Day in a fun, interactive way.

Floats can be made the week before at Howe Library during drop-in crafting sessions from 1–3 PM in the Children’s Program Room.

This program is made possible through a partnership with rePlay Arts, a wonderful local nonprofit that promotes creativity and sustainability by providing affordable, reused art and craft supplies to the community. Learn more about their work and browse their creative offerings at replayarts.org.
