Celebrate the 4th of July in Concrete, WA!
Each year we gather in Concrete, Washington for an old-fashioned Independence Day celebration. The Concrete Chamber of Commerce and local businesses invite you to join in the fun! The 2024 event is on Thursday, July 4. The parade starts at 3 p.m. in Town Center, followed by refreshments and a party at Silo Park. BE IN THE PARADE!
On July 4th, 1776, the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence and announced their independence from Great Britain. This year, we celebrate the history of our town, as well as our country. (Concrete turned 115 years old in May!) We’d like to see parade entries that include a nod to Concrete’s history. For example, why not take a look into the past by visiting the Concrete Heritage Museum?! Maybe you’ll get creative and dress up or decorate a vehicle depicting an earlier era.
What we like best about this celebration is it’s low-key and laid back. Instead of sitting for several hours watching hundreds of parade entries, in Concrete, our parade is small and features people you know. You don’t have to spend your whole day here, but we think you’ll enjoy the time you are here. (If you prefer a longer parade, we highly recommend the Loggerodeo event in Sedro-Woolley)
Activities
New Bike Park!
We’re excited to announce that the NEW CONCRETE BIKE PARK will be open in time for our 4th of July party at Silo Park! The spray pad, playground, and new picnic shelters will also be open to families. You’re encouraged to bring snacks or a picnic lunch, and also enjoy the free treats provided by the Concrete Chamber.
DJ Janie Lee Kelley will provide music in the park. Be sure to be there to hear her sing the national anthem — her amazing voice echoes among the mountains!
