LURAY — The Shenandoah River Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will host their annual Fourth of July Children’s Parade at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 4 at Luray’s Inn Lawn Park. Participation is open to children of all ages.
Local children are encouraged to decorate their favorite mode of transportation — a bicycle, tricycle, wagon or scooter — in their best red, white and blue and bring it to Inn Lawn Park (adjacent to the Page Public Library) on Tuesday for a patriotic July 4th display and march around the scenic park.
DAR Shenandoah Chapter member Judy Roop organized the event and asks that children gather with their rides at the park pavilion (gazebo).
Luray Mayor Jerry Dofflemyer will lead the parade aboard a truck from the Luray Volunteer Fire Department. The Luray Police Department will set up road blocks and direct traffic as needed for the parade through the park.
Chapter member Ellen Hornstra and other chapter members will parade along with the children to ensure their safety, along with parents of young children. After the parade, the children will receive refreshments from the Page Alliance for Community Activities (PACA).
Children may walk the parade as well.
Following the event, the Town of Luray and the Luray Downtown Initiative will host the “Downtown Get Down” from 4 to 9 p.m. The event includes multiple stages of live music, games, children’s activities and food vendors, with fireworks being launched from the fairgrounds at dusk.
