NEW WATER RULES FOR FOURTH OF JULY...
Traditionally, water has been squirted back and forth amongst viewers and participants during the parade. However, this year the City has established a new set of Water Play Zone Guidelines. Sierra Vista Park is now the only designated water play zone (west side of the park on the grass lawn). The Sierra Madre Fire Department will be spraying water into Sierra Vista Park for children and families to play in. Only water/squirt guns will be permitted at the water play zone. Absolutely no water balloons or use of water hoses will be tolerated at the water play zone or anywhere along the parade route.
Absolutely NO water play by parade goers will be allowed along the parade route. Parking signage will exhibit a “No Water Zone” notice along Sierra Madre Blvd.

The Fourth of July in Sierra Madre is a very big deal. They say
"Half the town marches in the parade, the other half is watching." People
come from all over the southland for the festivities, and when the
4th falls on a weekend,
it's eeeextry goooood. Concerts in
the park, movies in the park,
antique calliope shows, food and beverage booths in the park (including
the traditional beer garden) and
so much more. Make your plans to join us this year. But celebrations
don't come without a lot of hard work. Kudos to the 4th of July committee,
most of whom have been with the Committee since its inception and have
guided it to its current heights.
