Fourth of July Celebration

General Naglee

Naglee Park celebrates 4th of July in style!

Start the day off with a fun run, enter something in the annual bake off, join or watch the neighborhood parade at 1 pm, then head to William Street park for an afternoon of music, food, and beverages with friends.

Our 2023 celebration was epic! Congratulations Grand Marshall Farrell Podgorsek!

42 people joined the fun run this year.

The parade saw more participation than we've had in a number of years including four floats created by our neighborhood kids and Girl Scouts at the first Float Decorating Clinic (sponsored by the CCA), 3 local dignitaries, 4 new babies, a dozen (or so) lowrider vehicles, and many others on foot, bike, scooter, etc.

See photos our neighbors shared:

This year, an anonymous donor offered two $500 prizes for Best in Show and Most Creative/Fun in the parade. Winners were:

  • Best in Show:  Dames with Dogs (especially Huckleberry for Mayor)
     
  • Most Creative/Fun:  The New Baby Car with the Generations sign
     
  • Honorable Mention: All the low rider cars!
