2014 Parade Theme Chosen, The Star Spangled Banner 1814 - 2014

The Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration Committee is proud to announce their theme for the 2014 celebration.  The theme will be “The Star Spangled Banner, 1814 - 2014”.  The Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration Committee will sponsor its annual celebration on Friday, July 4, 2014.

 

The purpose of the Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration is to celebrate the USA and its history and to honor American Patriots of all times.  For 2014, we would like to focus on our national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner.  We will celebrate the people and events involved with creating this important American song.

The Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration began in 1910 when the local papers, the civic section of the Woman's Club and the Ridgewood Fire Department joined forces to create a “safe and sane” holiday with an emphasis on Patriotism.   It has grown into one of the largest celebrations in the New York City area.
