Ashland's 4th of July Parade & Celebration

A beloved tradition, join the Hanover Arts & Activities Center on July 4th for a day of fun celebrating our country’s independence! Join us for an endearing small-town walking parade and a patriotic concert by the Hanover Concert Band on our lawn. There are old-fashioned lawn games, a Patriotic Pet Costume Contest, cold snow cones, face painting, hot dogs and hamburgers, and of course our famous Apple Pie Baking Contest and Pie Auction, all in the Center of the best little town in the Universe!

New this year! As part of our country's 250th celebration, we are hosting a "Founding Fathers' Costume Contest" and putting together a time capsule!
