2026 4th of July Community Celebration

Although Wellington’s annual 4th of July Parade will look different this year while Cleveland Avenue is under construction, the rest of the Community Celebration will have a familiar feel.
The following are details on the day’s activities. More information will be added if/when it becomes available.
We hope to see you out there!
PARADE
Because Downtown Wellington will be under construction during the summer, this year’s 4th of July Parade takes place at 10 a.m. on the roads surrounding Wellington Middle/High School (WMHS), located at 2856 Cleveland Ave.
Parade participants will line up on Ruffian Way, and the parade route runs north-to-south down Eagle Street (the unmarked road on the western edge of the WMHS campus). Parade parking is available at WMHS, and attendees will be able to line the sides of the route.

MARKET/CAR SHOW
After the parade, starting at 11 a.m., a special July 4th Main Street Market sponsored by the Main Street Program opens in Centennial Park (3815 Harrison Ave.) along with the annual car show hosted by the Rockabilly Vixens.
The market will include booths from local farmers, artisans and crafters. The car show — which has the theme “Step Back to the Good Ol' Days” — features new and classic cars and motorcycles owned by area residents.
To accommodate the car show, the following roads will be closed from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 4:
• Harrison Avenue between 3rd and 4th Streets
• 4th Street between Harrison and Cleveland Avenues
• 3rd Street between Harrison Avenue and the Cleveland Avenue alley
• Both the market and the car show close at 2 p.m.
