Which Pennsylvania City Has One Of America's Best 4th of July Parades?

It’s Philadelphia.

Forbes recognized Philly as one of the top parade spots in the country, and honestly, it makes sense. The city is full of landmarks that are huge parts of American history, and the annual 4th of July parade is a big part of the celebration. The parade runs through the historic district, with local groups, marching bands, and different local organizations as well.

It’s the kind of parade where families come out early to grab a good spot, and the parade itself is a huge tradition for so many people in and out of the city. After the parade, many people stick around for the city’s other 4th of July events, including concerts and fireworks along the Delaware River.

Philadelphia’s spot on the list is just another reason the city stands out when it comes to celebrating the 4th.
