The News
City Beat called the 4th of July Parade “One of the most unique celebrations in Cincinnati.” and said it’s “ ... if you’re up for a little something different on the fourth, plant yourself on Hamilton Avenue.”
It’s not just a neighborhood, it’s a lifestyle!
Northside’s 4th of July Parade spans 1 mile of Hamilton Avenue through the heart of the business district consisting of a unique blend of eclectic and
traditional businesses and entertainment venues. With a bustling community of musicians, artists, entrepreneurs and activists all shuffled in the mix, the parade stands out in Cincinnati.
History
The Northside 4th of July Parade has been going strong for at least 30 years. Once a traditional, independence day parade, it has evolved to represent a changing American culture and the eclectic neighborhood it represents, while maintaining the old traditions.
