New this year for 2026! The Parade route has been reversed.
The Clarkston Fourth of July Parade will assemble at the Renaissance High School parking lot, located at 6558 Waldon Road.
The parade will begin sharply at 10:00am, from the Renaissance High School parking lot, with a left turn on to Church Street, then right turn on to Main Street, heading north, then a left turn on Miller Road, finally ending at St. Dan's Church parking lot.
The First Announcer's Stage will be on Main Street, in front of The Fed Restaurant, near Rudy's Prime Steakhouse, where each entry will be introduced as time allows.
There will be a 21 Gun Salute by the American Legion Post #63 and the singing of the National Anthem by a local, Clarkston favorite singer.
The parade will continue north on Main Street, stopping at 90 North Main, at the Second Announcer's Stage, where again, there will be a singing of the National Anthem by a Clarkston High School student and each entry will be introduced as time allows.
Parade entries will then turn left onto Miller Street until they come to the end of the parade route at St. Dan's Catholic Church.
