Independence Day Celebration

The Spring Grove 4th of July Committee is thrilled to once again bring the residents of Spring Grove, along with their friends and families, another year of live music, a hometown parade, spectacular fireworks, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Our Independence Day celebration draws thousands of visitors to our parks and downtown on July 3 and 4. While our dedicated volunteers and partners work hard to ensure the festivities run as smoothly as possible, increased traffic, temporary road closures, and ongoing summer road construction may cause some delays.

We encourage everyone to plan their travel in advance, allow extra time to reach their destination, and expect heavier-than-normal traffic throughout the celebration. We will continue to provide timely updates and important event information here to help make your Independence Day experience safe, enjoyable, and memorable.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation—we look forward to celebrating with you!
