ANNUAL GENEVA INDEPENDENCE DAY
PARADE & FESTIVAL
AN OLD FASHIONED SALUTE TO
“AMERICA’S MUSICAL HERITAGE”
GENEVA, FL - The Village of Geneva is celebrating its 46th Annual Old Fashioned
Independence Day Parade & Festival Celebration saluting “America’s Musical Heritage”, Tuesday, July 4, 2017.
Vintage Cars & Festival Activities begin at 8:30 AM. Fabulous food, crafts and jaw dropping autos will start your morning off right! Arrive early and select your perfect spot for the 10 AM parade, led by a Flag Corp, vintage cars and trucks taking you back to the “good ole days”, followed by antique aircraft roaring over the crowd (weather permitting). The airplane formations by the Spruce Creek Gaggle Flight guarantee goose bumps as they dip their wings in salute to all gathered for a day of fun.
Unique floats showing off their interpretation of “American’s Musical Heritage” will put you in the spirit. Miles of smiles and applause will erupt with blocks of painted horses with patriotic riders, miniature ponies pulling wagons, kids on bikes and our own Greater Geneva Grande Award Marching Band to excite the crowds.
It’s not too late to submit your parade entry and be part of this step back in time! Register your car, bike, golf cart, 4-wheeler, float & more! It costs you nothing and loads of fun. Who knows, you might even win one of our cash prizes.
