It’s hard to believe that we’re already halfway through 2013, but July 4th is upon us! Independence Day is a holiday to share your pride for America, liberty, and democracy — so while you’re at it, why not celebrate with the Democrats? Last year’s critical elections put so many Democrats in office, and the Fourth is the perfect opportunity to spend some time with the elected officials who work hard year-round to ensure that every day is a day of independence.
The list below is a compilation of parades in the 10th District. March in one, two, five — it’s up to you, but it’s sure to be a day of fun, freedom, and fireworks! If your community isn’t listed, it means that there is no parade planned or that we weren’t able to find that information. Additionally, as we’re still working with your elected officials to receive information, this list is not yet complete. Contact the Tenth Congressional District Democrats at events@tenthdems.org or (847) 266-VOTE (8683) for more information.
If your information isn’t listed or is incorrect, please let us know ASAP at events@tenthdems.org.
All listed parades are on July 4th unless otherwise indicated.
