Arlington Independence Day Parade

Saturday, July 4th at 9 AM in Downtown Arlington

The Arlington Independence Day Parade is the largest in Texas and one of the biggest in the United States. As the longest-running annual event in Arlington, it has been named the Best Parade of Its Size in Texas for the third consecutive year by the Texas Festivals and Events Association.

The parade association is a nonprofit funded by community organizations, businesses, and individuals, and we couldn’t continue this 61 year Arlington tradition without folks like you!
