Breckenridge Fourth of July parade makes triumphant return

 


After a year with few in-person festivities, the Breckenridge Fourth of July parade made its comeback this year with hundreds of spectators lining Main Street to celebrate the holiday.

The Firecracker 50 mountain bike race kicked off the event, followed by floats from front-line workers and local community organizations marching down Main Street from French Street to Park Avenue.

Members of the Boy Scouts marched while holding a large American flag, while local firefighters, police and other first responders honked their horns in front of them. Leading the Boy Scouts were two boys holding a banner that read, “In celebration of all we missed and in anticipation of what’s to come. Happy Independence Day.”
