The Carol Stream Independence Day Parade Committee is excited to announce this year’s parade will be held on Thursday, July 4th, at 10 am. If you would like to register your group to participate please fill out the form HERE

The Carol Stream Independence Parade has been a village tradition since 1987. Many community groups, organizations and clubs have participated in the parade. Over the years the parade has featured the US Navy Marching Band, the Glenbard North Marching Band, the Jesse White Tumblers, the Barefoot Hawaiians, the South Shore Drill Team and many others who have traveled to help celebrate with Carol Stream residents.


We proudly invite all local groups, organizations and business to participate and celebrate the holiday with the community. If you would like to register for this years event click HERE.
