4th of July Parade

The rescheduled Rotary Club of Jacksonville Independence Day parade
will take place on Saturday, August 31 at 10 am

The Rotary Club of Jacksonville invites you to join in the fun and to be a part of our Independence Day Parade!

This year our focus is Building Community Magic. We are celebrating those who play a vital role in preserving, promoting and enhancing our rich cultural heritage while building community identity. Their contributions encourage us to be curious, challenge our thinking, ask questions, and inspire us to imagine our place in the world. Jacksonville Area Museum Manager, McKenna Servis, and Rotarians Alberta Robinson and Steven Varble will serve as Parade Marshals.

Please plan to take part in our parade by participating or watching along the route. Join us in celebrating the architects of magic in our community, our area and our world.

2024 REVISED ROUTE

Because of construction on West State Street near the downtown square, the parade route is slightly different.

The parade route will form up and originate at the Morgan County Fairgrounds. The route will proceed on Grand Avenue (Morgan County Fairgrounds gate) headed east on West State Street and will end at the High School Apartments. Entries may disperse north or south onto Fayette Street.
