July 4th Parade and Fireworks
Each 4th of July, Saugerties puts on a parade and a fireworks display - both on a grand scale. The parade is organized and run by the Saugerties Fire Department, and is always a fun and highly popular Saugerties tradition. And each year, generous donors always step up, so that young and old can take in an awesome fireworks display, at the end of what is always an exciting and tiring day.
The tradition is that the parade lines up at 10 a.m. and the parade steps off at 11 a.m. sharp. The fireworks begin at 10 p.m.
For more information on the parade (including a map of the route) and the fireworks, please read on.
Parade Route
A downloadable/printable PDF of the parade route is available below under "Documents".
The 2 Grand Marshalls of the 2023 parade were Joe Defino and Tom Hallion. When the 2024 marshall is announced, we will update this page.
Fireworks
The Saugerties 4th of July tradition includes fireworks at Cantine Field. They are always a big hit.
The fireworks begin at 10 p.m.
The Saugerties Stallions have a tradition of playing a ballgame on the fourth of July. To avoid any problematic delay in the fireworks, they have begun starting this game earlier than usual, so as to avoid any delay in the start of the fireworks.
In 2023, the fireworks were sponsored by the Saugerties Lions Club, with additional sponsorship from the Saugerties Kiwanis Club, Naccarato Insurance and Sawyer Motors. When we learn who the sponsors are for 2024, we will update this page with that information.
WE TRULY HOPE THAT ALL RESIDENTS AND VISITORS HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE 4TH OF JULY!
