Apalach Independence Day Celebration

Organizers have finalized plans for the annual old Apalach Independence Day Parade and Ice Cream Social slated for Friday, July 3.

The parade will begin at 6:30PM at Lafayette Park where participants will gather donning red, white, and blue while riding bicycles, pulling wagons, walking and driving golf carts.

The flag waving procession will leave Lafayette Park and make its way down Avenue B to Water Street along the river to Riverfront Park, once at the park starting at 7:00PM there will be an ice cream social along with entertainment.

Added this year and starting at 7:30PM under Gorrie Bridge will be a Rubber Duck Race sponsored by the Apalachicola Rotary Club.

Well attended by both locals and visitors alike this unique Independence Day Celebration has grown in size each year since its inception.

Appreciation and thanks are due the following sponsors who have worked diligently to make this annual event possible:

The Apalachicola Bay Chamber of Commerce, Apalachicola Rotary Club, Apalachicola Seafood Grill, Avenue E, Blue Beach & Home, Wombat Sound Music, Piggy Wiggly, and Bay Media.
