Since 2008, Celebrate Bristol and Believe in Bristol have joined forces to bring an outstanding Fourth of July celebration to the Bristol community.  After years of a wonderful partnership, the committee members of Celebrate Bristol have officially merged into the Believe in Bristol promotions committee to bring you future celebrations on America’s birthday.  Moving forward, it will be the same great community celebration, just housed under one organization.  

With this event merger comes alterations to a few things in regards to the Fourth of July parade.  Starting this year, applications will be required for participation in the parade – please help us stay organized by filling out the entirety of the application.  In addition, there will be a nominal fee (listed below) for all non-veteran participants.  This is due to added costs to our organization to put on the event, including parade liability insurance.  

We look forward to expanding off our existing event in the future and working with you on bringing a wonderful event to our community.  We couldn’t do it without your participation and support!
For any questions, please contact the Believe in Bristol office at 423-573-2201 or info@believeinbristol.org.
