A steady stream of events take place in Great Falls on July Fourth, starting with a pet-friendly and stroller-friendly 5K fun run and walk at 8 a.m. The focus moves at 8:30 a.m. to the Village Green, where the annual Little Patriots Parade includes prizes for best “Young George Washington” and “Little Liberty” as well as “Best Decorated Wagon” and “Best Curly Hair.” The main parade begins at 10 a.m. with firetrucks, floats, classic cars, horses and dogs. After the parade, the Hometown Festivities on the green include face painting and inflatable slides for kids, and pizza and snow cones for all. Evening festivities take place at Turner Farm, off Springvale Road, with more inflatable slides, a climbing wall and food trucks, with the fireworks display beginning around 9 p.m. A full schedule is available on celebrategreatfalls.org/4th-of-july. Admission to the parade, fun run and other festivities is free; there is a suggested $20 donation per family for the fireworks.
