Bel Air Independence Day Parade Urgently Seeking Entrants For 2026 Celebration
Floats, Marching Units, and More to Honor America’s 250th Birthday
Bel Air (June 2, 2026) – The Bel Air Independence Day Committee urgently needs floats, marching units, antique cars, and comic/novelty acts to make Harford County’s biggest and best Fourth of July celebration a success once again!
Local businesses and organizations can be part of the fun as well, with their own entry appearing in front of tens of thousands lining the parade route through downtown Bel Air on Saturday, July 4.
“Our parade is an annual tradition for thousands of local residents, but we need more parade entrants from the community as soon as possible to ensure another fun-filled year,” said parade chairman Michael Blum. “We can’t do it without you!”
The theme for 2026 is “Celebrating USA’s 250” and entrants are encouraged to decorate or craft their entry to illustrate or embody that theme. The deadline for applying to join the parade is FRIDAY, JUNE 19.
The only way to join the parade in 2026 is by filling out an online application on the committee’s website at: http://www.belairjuly4.org/innerpages/contact.html. Full rules and regulations governing parade entries are available at http://www.belairjuly4.org/innerpages/paraderules.html.
