Events for July 3, 2021

The New Albany, Ohio Independence Day Parade & Festival is a favorite annual tradition that fosters civic pride like no other. Presented by the New Albany Chamber of Commerce, the parade will start on Saturday, July 3 at 11:00am at the New Albany Primary School and end at the Church of the Resurrection. Parade Awards will be presented for Best Parade Theme, Best Community Spirit and Most Patriotic. Rob Yanok and NBC4 television journalist Bob Nunnally are this years parade hosts and emcees. Because the parade will travel via Dublin-Granville Road (not Market Street as in previous years), the grandstand is at the top of the limestone steps just North of the Raines Crossing bridge at Rose Run Park.

The Festival is 6:00pm-9:45pm at the greenspace at New Albany Middle School, 6600 E. Dublin Granville Road. This free family-friendly event features The Conspiracy Theory band, kids activities, bounce houses, ice sculpture demonstration, caricature artists, The Beauty Bus, costume characters & more! Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Foods trucks registered so far include Checker Mini Donuts, Cheesy Truck, Chilljoy Frozen Treatery, Dirty Franks, Happy Dog Pizza, Johnsons Ice Cream, Lynettes BBQ, and Tortilla Street Food.
