Celebrate Our Nation’s Birthday in Julian
The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak is an ongoing, rapidly developing situation. Unfortunately, we have been unable to confirm permits. With a heavy heart we have decided to cancel this years parade. The committee will still decorate the town to commemorate our nation’s birthday. Please continue to stay safe and always follow federal, state and local health organization guidance and government mandates.
Cancelled: This year Julian salutes July Fourth with the Theme, “Julian Sesquicentennial 150 Year Jubilee”. Julian honors our nation’s birthday with a salute to the men and women who made our country great, both domestically and militarily.
For more than twenty years, Julian residents, their friends and parade lovers from all over have lined up at on the town’s main street to wave their flags, cheer the marching bands, salute the Marine Color Guard, and carry a giant American Flag down the thoroughfare. Bands include:
- Bands from local schools
