Fourth of July 2019 Events

It’s easy to enter a float! Forms and guidelines are downloadable on the new Farms-Prides 4th of July website, www.farmsprides4th.com.

We encourage new entries. The Farms-Prides Horribles Parade is part of a tradition that stretches back more than 100 years. While we have marching bands and politicians like other parades, the heart of the Horribles Parade is floats entered by individuals and neighborhoods in the local community. They often poke fun at current events, local issues and national politics. The parade is sometimes controversial, always entertaining, and no one wants to miss it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Wristbands will be required to enter West Beach all day on the 4th! If you are not a West Beach member, you can not enter the beach until after 5 p.m. The price is $10 in advance and $20 on the 4th.

Neighborhood collectors are going around now, but if you miss your collector wristbands are also for sale at these local businesses:
Harrigans Cork & Cask
The BookShop of Beverly Farms
Sweetwater
Chris at West Beach

We will again be imposing strict security measures for the fireworks. These are necessary for crowd control purposes and are needed to obtain the proper permits from the safety authorities. Therefore, absolutely NO Alcoholic Beverages and NO Glass Containers will be allowed on West Beach during the day of the fire- works. Also, all coolers and containers must be removed from the Beach by 7 p.m. on that day. Furthermore, no fireworks, firecrackers, or sparklers will be allowed. As in the past, uniformed officers of the law will be en- forcing the rules. Violators will be ejected and subject to prosecution. Security will be particularly tight at the entrance gate, the private properties along the beach up to and including Prides Beach.

Please visit our new website for the latest on the 4th, as well as downloadable entry forms and guidelines for the Horribles Parade and House Decorating contest. While you’re there, sign up for our email newsletter. We’ll be announcing winners of the parade and house decorating contest, and posting the best pictures from the celebration.
