4th of July

We've noticed a few neighboring communities have decided the heat was just a little too much this year...

Not here in Rock Hall.

After all, our town is 319 years old—we've seen a hot July or two! This year we're going bigger than ever as we help celebrate America's 250th Birthday, and we're excited to announce that this year's parade has more participants than any other parade in Rock Hall history! It's shaping up to be our biggest and most exciting celebration yet.

While we're not letting the heat stop the fun, we also know heat is a serious matter, and we've planned ahead to help everyone stay cool.

Misting Tents
• Two (2) on Main Street
• Two (2) at the Civic Center

Cooling Stations
• Rock Hall Methodist Church (Sharp Street)
• St. John's Hall (Main Street)
• Civic Center Buildings

Be sure to check out the attached map showing parking areas, road closures, misting tents, and cooling station locations.

A few reminders:

  • Wear sunscreen.
  • Stay hydrated.
  • Wear a hat if you'll be out for a while.
  • Take a break in the shade or stop by one of our cooling stations whenever you need to.

So don't let the forecast keep you home. Bring your family, your friends, and a lawn chair, and join us for what promises to be the biggest Fourth of July parade in Rock Hall history as we celebrate our nation's Semiquincentennial together.

We'll see you on the 4th!
