Town of Merrimack 4th of July Registration Form for Politicians & Political Groups
We are pleased to extend an invitation to local politicians and political groups and organizations to march in our Annual Fourth of July Parade, which will be held on Thursday, July 4th, 2019. The Town of Merrimack's Annual 4th of July Parade is organized by the Parks & Recreation Department and is one of the larger Independence Day Parades in the State of New Hampshire.

The Parade will promptly begin at 1:00 pm from the Commons Shopping Plaza (515 Daniel Webster Highway). The Parade  will travel south down Daniel Webster Highway, takes a right onto Baboosic Lake Road to travel past Mastricola Elementary School and then takes a left onto O'Gara Drive. The Parade concludes at Merrimack High School which is located at 38 McElwain Street. The entire route is 1.5 miles long. All participants must be registered in advance and checked in no later than 12:30 pm on the day of the Parade.

**Please note that there are no shuttle buses to bring you from where the Parade ends back to where it begins.

If you are currently an elected official representing New Hampshire, we welcome you to join us near the front of the Parade (and have your supporters fill out their own registration form. If you would prefer to march with your supporters with campaign signs, floats, etc., then we would ask you to join them near the back of the Parade (the same form can be used).

If you are running for a political office, you will be placed near the back of the Parade with the other political candidates and groups. Since New Hampshire has a Republican Governor, Republican Candidates will appear in the Parade lineup  before Democratic Candidates. Candidates will be placed in alphabetical order within their party. Other political organizations will be placed at the end of the Parade behind the candidates.

If you have any questions regarding the Parade, please feel free to contact me at 603-882-1046 or by email at: mcasparius@merrimacknh.gov.

We look forward to seeing you on the 4th of July!

Sincerely,

Matthew Casparius, CPRE
Director of Parks & Recreation
