Join the Brevard Democrats as we participate in the annual Merritt Island July 4th parade celebrating Independence Day! This year's parade will stroll down Courtenay Parkway starting at Merritt Island High School, hang a left on Merritt Avenue, then ending at Edgewood Junior High School. We'll assemble at the High School around 9am, to get organized, prior to the parade start at 10am. The sheriff will close the roads in advance of the parade, so arrive on time or you'll be blocked from driving on Courtenay. Wear your blue Brevard Dems T-shirt or something blue so we all look like we belong together. And bring a flag to waive if you have one on a pole. We suggest you bring cold water, hat, sunglasses and an umbrella for shade. Bicycles, tricycles, unicycles all welcome.
