Independence day 2024
Audubon, New Jersey - The Most Patriotic Small Town in America!
Our 2024 Parade Theme is
“Sustainable Audubon: making it greener together for people, planet and prosperity.”
The Most Patriotic Small Town in America has an expanded THREE DAY celebration of Independence planned for 2024. As always, every resident in Audubon is invited to get involved by marching in the parade, participating in family fun athletics, enjoying a fabulous fireworks display, and this year a new tradition may be established by Audubon Fathers and the American Legion, who are hosting an Independence Day Dance on Friday July 5th.
We will have Mummers, string bands, old timey music, rock bands, sports teams, vintage cars and bikes, babies and cheerleaders, and fire trucks!!
And yes, we will have our Patriotic House Decorating contest!
We are recruiting volunteers to act as judges, street captains, banner carriers and more!
