Waukesha Fireworks, Parade Set for July 4

Parade will be held in downtown Waukesha and fireworks celebration will be at the Waukesha County Expo.

 

The city of Waukesha has announced the schedule of events for its July 4 celebration.

The America the Beautiful parade begins at 11 a.m. leaving from Cutler Park. The parade will begin at the corner of Maple and Wisconsin Ave., travel west on Wisconsin Ave., turn right at West Ave., follow Main St. east, turn left on Buckley, then right on Baxter, finishing at the Schuetze Recreation Center, 1120 Baxter St. in Frame Park.

“To our knowledge the tradition of the Fourth of July Parade in Waukesha dates back to at least 1871,” said Parks, Recreation & Forestry Director Ron Grall. “The pride, history and sense of community exhibited by the citizens of Waukesha and our visitors are apparent in their participation of Fourth of July activities and I’m sure this year will be no exception. We invite the entire community to enjoy all the Waukesha parks have to offer and join in the festivities.”

Fireworks begin at 9:30 p.m. at the Waukesha County Expo. Gates open at 7:15 p.m.

Yes. I heard the Waukesha Fire Department has been wetting down the area for several days and (as always) will be on hand just in case there are any problems. Thank the guys in the big red trucks!
