Manteca is celebrating “250 Years of Liberty” with the Sunrise Kiwanis’ Fourth of July parade.
It takes place Saturday, July 4, at 10 a.m. along Yosemite Avenue between Library Park and Garfield Avenue by Manteca High.

There is no entry fee for participants except for equestrian groups. The service club uses proceeds from its annual Pumpkin Fair in October to underwrite the parade and support various community endeavors.

The parade is open to entries from individuals, families, groups, businesses, organizations and non-profits.

Entry forms can be accessed by going to the Sunrise Kiwanis Facebook parade.
There is no community Independence Day celebration event per se this year besides the parade.

There will be City of Manteca sponsored aerial fireworks.

They will be launched starting at 9 p.m. on the Fourth of July near the Big League Dreams sports complex.
