Grafton 4th of July Parade

Thank you to the Community Advocate for their cover piece on the parade.

As they made their way down North Street, parade-goers were in for a welcome surprise named Scott Rossiter. The longtime Grafton resident was posted at the end of Stonewall Drive, right next to all the action.

We would like to take a moment to thank everyone who entered their dog into the 2026 Dog Mayor race. It sure was some "ruff" competition this year, but one dog stood out from the pack and claimed victory with over 200 votes.

Congratulations to the new dog mayor, Mayor Figgy!

We would also like to thank Waggy Tails Pet Grooming, Patty's Pet Supply and the Town of Grafton for their generous contributions to the dog mayor contest.

Thank you Uncommon Cow for keeping the crowd at the parade cool with all those popsicles. We hope to see your cows again next year! 🐄

It's finally here 🇺🇸
Food trucks, crafts, snacks, face-painting, Grafton Farmers Market, Doggy Mayor, bike decorating, cars, trucks, floats, activities, live music, and CANDY! 🍭🍬

Just a reminder, a temporary parking ban is in effect for the common until noon today. The parade route, from North Street Elementary to the common, and all other roads leading to the common will be closed beginning at 9:45 AM. Please leave early and give yourself plenty of time to find parking and a spot to watch the parade.

The Common has been decorated.
All the mini flags are hung with care, in hopes that Uncle Sam soon will be there.

If you're walking in the area help yourself to a flag or a pinwheel!
