10 am – Public Reading of the US Declaration of Independence
Happy Birthday, America! The founding fathers signed this declaration on July 4, 1776, and America will celebrate its 250th birthday in 2026! Everyone is invited to gather on the stairs of the old Historic Lexington Courthouse to commemorate the reading of the founding document of the United States. Those in attendance will be invited to read aloud a short portion of the Declaration.
The Fourth of July parade steps off at noon and will move down Main Street from Midland to Mill Street. There will be plenty of red, white and blue to get everyone in the patriotic spirit. Enjoy the parade from the sideline, or register beforehand if you wish to participate.
