Fourth of July Celebrations Scheduled for Sunday, July 4th
Once again, the ECF has planned a daylong Independence Day celebration to be held on Sunday, July 4th. Kicking off the events is the Marlton Mayor's Cup 5K Run and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk beginning at 8:30am. See the routes and register online at the Marlton Mayor's Cup website, or sign up that morning at Cooper Ave. and Main St.
Next will be the Kids Bike Parade taking off at 10:30am on Main St. Children up to grade 5 can decorate and ride a bike, scooter, wagon or stroller and show it off on the short trek (as long as helmets are worn). Check in starting at 10:00am at Cooper Ave. and Main St.
The Fourth of July Parade will kick off at 11:00am on Main St. Find your spot along the route early to fully enjoy this community spectacular! There'll be lots of music, a salute to our local troops, marchers from township schools and organizations, and much more! Refreshments will be sold by the Marlton Rec Council at several stations along the route.
Finally, the fun will resume at 6:00pm at Cherokee High School. Enjoy a snack or dinner from the local vendors who'll be there, and find the perfect spot for your blanket while you catch up with friends and neighbors. Keep your eyes open for the Paratroopers at 7:45pm. Visit with our Troops who are home from service, and show your support with the Rally beginning at 8:15pm. Then enjoy the fantastic fireworks display beginning at 9:45pm!
