Since 1964, the Kiwanis Club of Granville has proudly organized the community’s beloved 4th of July Celebration and Parade. What began as a local tradition has grown into one of Granville’s most anticipated annual events. Months of planning and countless volunteer hours go into creating a safe, memorable, and family-friendly experience for the entire community. With the support of The Village of Granville, the Granville Police Department, and the Granville Township Fire Department, they ensure a safe, fun-filled experience for everyone. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Granville Community Foundation, the fireworks light up the sky, making this celebration truly unforgettable. Best of all, proceeds from sponsors, parade entries, and a portion of street fair vendor and ride sales go to support charitable organizations – extending the impact of this celebration far beyond the holiday.

Visit Granville4th.com for information/registration for the Home Decorating Contest, Photography Contest, Granville’s Got Talent, and Patriotic Pet Contest! Join their Mile-Long Parade by emailing granville4thparade@gmail.com to register for the parade. For more information, please visit the Granville Kiwani’s Facebook page.
