11am: Parade

The Palatine Jaycees annual Fourth of July parade is our favorite part of Hometown Fest. We look forward to hosting the parade on Saturday at 11 a.m.!

The goal of the parade is to show off the best of the best and celebrate how the Palatine community is shaped by those who are a part of it — from its social organizations to its businesses; from its local leaders to its Fire, Police, and other village entities.
