July 3rd Independence Day Celebration

July 3rd is the Capital City’s largest festival of the year - a national holiday celebrated in a uniquely Montpelier way. Enjoy family-friendly activities happening downtown throughout the day.

The fun begins at 3pm with the July 3rd Food Truck Festival and FamilyFest on the State House Lawn. After the FamilyFest, the Montpelier Mile Road Race begins at 6 pm and kicks-off the Community Parade! After enjoying the parade, join us on the State House Lawn for a performance by Chad Hollister and more fun. The night is capped off by an epic fireworks show!
