One of Lakewood’s most beloved traditions is back—and we need your help to make it unforgettable! Planning is officially underway for the 2026 Lakewood Fourth of July Parade, and it all starts with choosing the theme that will inspire our floats, costumes, music, and neighborhood creativity.

This year, the parade committee has narrowed it down to three fun, patriotic options, and now it’s your turn to vote:

Option 1: We the People
A timeless tribute to community, freedom, and the spirit that brings Lakewood together. This theme celebrates unity, civic pride, and the people who make our neighborhood special.

Option 2: Stars Through the Years
From classic Americana to modern red-white-and-blue flair, this theme highlights the stars that have shaped our nation across generations—perfect for creative interpretations and nostalgic fun.

Option 3: Red, White & You
A crowd-pleasing favorite that puts the spotlight on YOU—our neighbors, families, schools, clubs, and local organizations. It’s all about personal pride and Lakewood spirit.

No matter which theme wins, one thing is certain: the Lakewood Fourth of July Parade will once again be filled with creativity, tradition, and hometown pride. Cast your vote, spread the word, and help shape one of our favorite summer celebrations!
