Glenside is a community where everyone should feel safe, welcome, and valued.

This Thursday, we invite our neighbors to join Abington Township, the Abington School District, community leaders, faith leaders, educators, and public officials at Glenside Weldon Park as we come together in response to the recent antisemitic and anti-Black graffiti found at the playground.

Hate has no place in Glenside or anywhere in Abington Township. Please join us as we stand together, reclaim this community space, and affirm the values of dignity, belonging, and respect.

Thursday, October 8 | 5:30–6:30 PM
Glenside Weldon Park — Easton & Parkdale

Come stand with us. Choose unity. Reject hate.

Thanks glensidelocalpa for sharing!

A little more about GOAT:

The story follows Will, a small goat with big dreams who gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to join the pros and play roarball – a high-intensity, co-ed, full-contact sport dominated by the fastest, fiercest animals in the world. Will’s new teammates aren’t thrilled about having a little goat on their roster, but Will is determined to revolutionize the sport and prove once and for all that “smalls can ball!”

The Greater Glenside Patriotic Association is in a challenging position.

We love our community and realize we must continue the 123-consecutive-year tradition of celebrating America's Independence with a parade.

However, we also understand we need to consider the weather forcasted, and minimize the risks to our Glenside family.

With a focus on celebrating our amazing tradition, and considering safety while doing so, we have decided to provide an alternate parade celebration.

At 6:00 PM:
Starting at The North Penn VFW on Jenkintown Road, fire departments from Abington and Cheltenham will parade to Abington High School.

The route will head down Jenkintown Road, turning left on Abington Avenue, to Abington High School.

Additionally, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM:
Stationed throughout the Abington Middle and Senior High School campuses, as well as Copper Beech campus, the World Championship International and out-of-state bands who have traveled thousands of miles to celebrate with us by marching in our parade will still be a part of our celebration, performing in several locations throughout the campus.

At 9:00: Fireworks as planned!

Unfortunately, we need to officially cancel the Children's Program at Renninger Park for this year.

We want to thank the Abington and Cheltenham Township's Police and Fire Departments, as well as their Emergency Management Divisions for their incredible help and support during this process! They truly are amazing partners in this celebration!

We look forward to continuing the unforgettable tradition of celebrating the 4th of July with you all in Glenside.

*Edit: Our original post stated that the PA Army National Guard’s 28th ID Band would no longer be performing. We are thrilled to say that they will, in fact, be performing for a very appreciative community. The Band will be performing along with other parade bands from 7-9 PM across the Abington school campus (Copper Beech, Middle School, and Senior High).

The Greater Glenside Independence Day Parade and Fireworks will be held on Saturday, July 4th, 2026. As in years past, there will be parking restrictions in the parade staging area and along the route. There will also be parking restrictions in the area around the high school where the fireworks are viewed.

These areas will be posted with “NO PARKING” as a reminder to all residents on July 3rd. If you will be away during this event, please do not park on the street. Thank you for your patience and cooperation!
