The parade is held rain or shine and entrants should plan to arrive at the Berlin Elementary School via Southeast Hollow Road at 9:30 am on July 4. Judging begins at 10 am. The Parade steps off promptly at 11 am.
Immediately following the Parade the Berlin Volunteer Fire Company will have cold beverages available with the Hill Hollow Band providing some great locally grown music at the fire house here in Berlin.
There has never been an entry fee for being a part of the event.
