Greenfield July 4 Celebrations To Go Forward This Year

GREENFIELD, WI — The usual July 4 celebrations will go forward this year for the first time since 2019, according to a release from the President of the Partners of Greenfield Parks and Recreation.

Greenfield canceled most of the city's July 4 celebrations last year due to concerns about COVID-19, including the fireworks display, festival activities and parade.

All of those events will return in full force this year. Greenfield will put on a July 4 festival with activities and vendors at Konkel Park. There will be live music, a marching band, the parade and the Miss Greenfield Pagent.

Fireworks will begin at 9:45 p.m at Konkel Park.

The parade will kick off at 12:15 p.m. at South 68th Street and West Layton Avenue. It will run down Layton Avenue and end at Konkel Park. Anyone can volunteer to be in the parade for free. Groups planning to be in the parade should return a form to the Greenfield Parade Coordinator by June 26.

Potential vendors are required to submit a form to the Greenfield Celebrations Committee by June 19.

Anyone looking to sponsor the festival can select from seven sponsorship options. A commitment form must be returned to the Greenfield Celebrations Committee by June 19.

All pageant, sponsor, parade and vendor forms can be found on the Greenfield 4 of July website.

The pageant took place last year, but to a limited extend. This year, it will take place in its standard format with three age divisions: Mini Miss (4-6), Little Miss (7-9) and Junior Miss (10-12). There is also a category for Miss Photogenic.

The pageant is only open to Greenfield residents or students, and registration must be completed by June 25. The rehearsal will take place on June 26. 1st place in the pageant will receive $100 and a crown and sash. 2nd place will receive $50.
