Start your Fourth of July with plenty of hometown pride at the Novato Fourth of July Parade, where downtown Grant Avenue comes alive with festive floats, marching bands, classic cars, community groups, equestrians, and plenty of red, white, and blue spirit.

Arrive early to enjoy free pre-parade entertainment beginning at 9:00 AM, then grab a spot along the parade route before the festivities kick off at 10:00 AM. It's a fun-filled morning for the whole family and the perfect way to celebrate America's birthday.

Want to make a morning of it? Fuel up beforehand at the popular Buckaroo Breakfast (7:00–10:00 AM), serving pancakes, eggs, sausage, coffee, and more while supporting a great local cause. 

 ⏰ Pre-Parade Entertainment: 9am

 🎉 Parade Begins: 10:00 AM

 💲 Free Admission

Wear your stars and stripes, bring a chair, and celebrate Independence Day with one of Marin's favorite community traditions! 🇺🇸🎆
