🇺🇸 The Wimberley Valley Chamber of Commerce is excited to continue our annual tradition of celebrating Independence Day with our community parade, which will be held this year on Friday, July 3, 2026.
We recognize that many community members are accustomed to the parade being held on the holiday itself. However, when the 4th falls on a weekend, the parade is held on the federally observed weekday, which is Friday, July 3rd this year.
Market Day is held on the first Saturday of the month, which falls on the 4th of July this year. The Lions Club plays a vital role in our community through Market Days and their ongoing service efforts, including supporting local nonprofits, youth programs, and providing thousands of dollars in scholarships to local students each year. We are deeply appreciative of their work and impact.
Because both events require significant use of shared spaces and community resources such as the Hays County Sheriff’s department & CERT, it is not logistically possible to safely and effectively hold the parade and Market Days on the same day. In order to support both long-standing traditions, the parade will be held on July 3rd.
We are grateful for the Wimberley Lions Club and for all they do for our community, and we look forward to supporting both events as they continue to serve Wimberley in meaningful ways.
We are so thankful for the never ending support of our amazing Wimberley community and continued understanding of prioritizing safety first among our celebration efforts!
🇺🇸 Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸
