The Pine Point 4th of July Parade is a treasured tradition—celebrating 26 years of community, color, and good old-fashioned coastal charm. Each flag, sign, runner’s medal, and marching band moment is made possible by support of community members like you.
We are a 100% volunteer-run committee, and every dollar donated goes directly toward making the parade more beautiful, safe, and fun for all. From kids’ race bibs, medals and patriotic décor to water and strawberry shortcake bowls, your contribution keeps the heart of the Pine Point 4th of July Parade & Fun Run beating strong each summer.
Thank you to our contributors & volunteers for keeping the spirit of Pine Point marching on.
