"Between 20,000-25,000 people will line the streets of Hingham for this 4th of July parade."
For those early risers on July 4th, Hingham hosts one of the region's oldest footraces. This premier event marks the 60th continuous running of the Hingham Road Race and kicks off the Independence Day Celebration. This unique course is one of the town's richest traditions. It is 4.47 miles along Hingham's historic Main Street. It is fast, runner friendly, downhill-dipped with few gradual uphill climbs. All along the course, locals cheer, hand out water and offer words of encouragement. The road race ends, running on red, white and blue center lines, under a huge flag with an enthusiastic crowd in the center of town. It is a wonderful way to start the day of festivities.
The parade, the main event for the day, begins at 10 a.m. Between 20,000-25,000 people will line the streets of Hingham for this 4th of July parade. It is approximately 75 minutes long, featuring high school bands from across the state, many Hingham Veterans, the 7th regiment from CT, Hingham's own historic baseball team and many creative floats representing sports teams and community groups. The parade starts near the Hingham High School at the intersection of Middle and Pleasant street and heads north across Route 228 before joining Main Street in Hingham Center. Along the route, the streets have been freshly painted with red, white and blue center lines, homes are decorated with flags and the entire town gathers together to enjoy this festive event.
