Some important information we wish to share regarding the Town of Highland's festival, parade and fireworks.

The Town of Highland’s 4th of July Festival runs from Thursday June 30, 2022 through Monday July 4, 2022. You can check out the entertainment schedule by checking www.highland.in.gov.
There are no pets allowed at the festival (service animals are allowed.) No coolers will be allowed into the park and outside alcohol is prohibited from being brought into the park as well. Also, you will not be allowed to exit the park with any alcoholic beverages. You may not ride your bicycles in the park.
During the operating hours of the festival, Highway Avenue will be closed off between 5th Street and Delaware Street. This area will be designated for handicapped parking (except during the parade.)

The entire park will be fenced in and there will be four entrances that people may use to enter the park. All entrances will be staffed by a Highland Police Officer.
1. Corner of Ridge Road & 5th Street
2. Corner of Highway Avenue & 5th Street
3. Corner of Highway Avenue & Delaware Street
4. South Side of the Main Square Parking Lot

The parade is on Sunday July 3rd. It kicks off with the All American Mile run at 6:30pm. This one mile run starts from 40th and Kennedy Avenue and ends at Main Square. The parade participants stage at various locations including: St. James Church, Calvary Baptist Church, and several side streets around Merkley School. The official starting point of the parade is at Kennedy Avenue and 42nd/Hart Road. Therefore, for best viewing, you should be north of Kennedy and 42nd/Hart Road in order for you to see everything. The Town of Highland viewing trailer will be in the parking lot of Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance at Kennedy Avenue and Lincoln Street this year, not on Highway Avenue at Main Square.
The parade “quiet zone” will be from Kennedy/Hart to Kennedy/Wicker. The rest of the parade route from Kennedy/Wicker to the end of the parade route at Main Square will allow sirens and horns.
Please note: Highway Avenue (between Kennedy Avenue and Delaware Street) will be closed to any parking beginning at 2pm on Sunday July 3rd in order to set up for the parade. Any cars still parked after 2pm will be towed.

Fireworks are scheduled for Monday July 4th at 9:00pm. Fireworks are set off from the north end of Homestead Park. Bring your lawn chairs and view the fireworks from Homestead Park or from the softballs fields at the Sharp Athletic Complex. No alcohol is allowed in the park and individuals are not allowed to bring in or discharge any fireworks in the park.

We wish everyone a safe and Happy 4th of July! ... See MoreSee Less
