Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration

Schedule of Events

9:00 am: Flag Raising at Wilsey Square

The annual flag raising in Wilsey Square starts The Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration off in true patriotic style. The event includes a short program based on the theme of each year’s parade and a traditional flag raising. Throughout the history of the celebration the parade and firework portions have on occasion been forgone due to funding or security concerns however the flag raising has occurred without interruption since the start of the committee in 1910. This year join your fellow patriots in the longest continually celebrated tradition in the history of The Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration. We look forward to seeing you there!
