The Parade Route

The parade kicks off at 10:00 am sharp on July 4 rain or shine:

  • It begins at the intersection of South and East/West Housantonic Streets in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

  • Heads north up South Street on the southbound lane, straight through Park Square.

  • Continues up the southbound land of North Street to Wahconah Street before ending at Wahconah Park.

Parking is available at:

  • Fenn Street/First Street lot

  • Eagle Street lot

  • McKay Street lot/garage

  • Summer Street lot

NO parking is allowed at Wahconah Park, along the parade route or the staging area.

 

Call for Volunteers!

  • The Pittsfield 4th of July Parade Committee is looking for volunteers to help make the July 4th Parade bigger and better than ever.

    While the exciting event occurs on a single day, the planning, preparation and fundraising takes nearly a whole year.

    We meet monthly throughout the year, and weekly as we get closer to July 4th, and hope that more people will take an interest in helping us bring this historic event to the city.

    The parade committee meets at the Framework Coworking by Downtown Pittsfield Inc. 437 North Street in Pittsfield at 7pm.

    For more information please contact the Parade Committee:
