Parading On The Fourth

Longfellow hosts its 37 annual parade at 10 a.m. Wednesday, starting and ending at Longfellow Elementary School on Hesperus Drive.

The parade lasts about an hour and then the neighborhood heads over to the ball fields behind Harper's Choice Village Center for a traditional softball game.

River Hill kicks off its 8th annual parade at 9:30 a.m. The route runs from Pointers Run Elementary School to the River Hill Village Center, and Great Star Drive will be closed to traffic during the event.
