4th of July Celebrations in TT and Easttown

Two big, free Fourth of July celebrations are planned for Tredyffrin Township and Easttown Township and there's tons more to do from the Upper Main Line to Independence Hall.

Easttown's Annual Bike Parade and Picnic is scheduled to begin at 10:15 a.m. with registration in Johnson Park behind the Easttown Library and information Center. The Parade will kick off at 11 a.m. and offers prizes in 9 categories, including most patriotic bikes. The Berwyn Fire Company and an old fashioned ice cream truck will lead the parade from the park down Main Street in the Village of Berwyn.

Last year there were about 280 kids on bikes and 400 adults who took part in this Star Spangled Celebration.

The picnic follows the parade from 11:30 a.m,-1 p.m. at Johnson Pak. Pack a picnic and/or food and beverages will be available for sale. There will be a moonbounce, games, face-painting, eating contests, a water-balloon toss, watermelon seed-spitting contests and street art.

Children attending receive a patriotic gifts package compliments of Penn Liberty Bank.

The Berwyn Fire Company closes the day with a cannon shot of water to cool things down.

Nine trophies will be awarded by the Berwyn Veterans’ Memorial Committee and the board for the children with the most patriotic, most creative and “funniest” bicycles. Registration begins at 10:15 a.m. sharp at Johnson Park on Bridge Street. The Parade begins at 11 a.m.

Tredyffrin Township Concert and Fireworks: Begins at 7pm at Wilson Farm Park with a free concert by the Chester County (Community) Concert Band followed by Fireworks at sunset.
