2025 Parade Theme: 249 and Counting!
This theme acknowledges our excitement as we approach the 250th celebration of the founding of the United States of America!
Starts at 10am from 4660 Karl Road to 5750 Karl Road
The Northland Community Fourth of July Parade, started in 1962, is the only traditional parade on the 4th of July in Columbus, Ohio. This parade is the largest social event of the year in the Northland area!
This parade is a completely volunteer effort which requires hundreds of hours of dedicated work to pull together this annual event. We ask our commercial and political partners to pay a fee each year for the parade which helps pay for the permit, police, insurance, trash pick-up, crowd control, banners, signs, and float awards. These funds are raised entirely by the volunteers asking for donations. It is not too late to become a sponsor and get on our parade website. Our announcers will mention you at least three times. All donations are very much appreciated!
To encourage you to be a participant, these are our participant awards:
- $100 Hadler Grand Marshal Award
- $100 SiteInsight Junior Grand Marshal Award
- $100 Oakleaf Village & The Grove NCC President Award
- $100 Zusman Hospice Beat in Theme Award
- and, new for this year, is the Chosen Few Vette Club Best Vehicle with their trophy

For your best spectator experience, please move away from crowds and intersections. With fewer people around, you'll get a better view of the participants, more attention from them which means more goodies from them too. Bring an umbrella for shade! Please keep pets on a leash.
