2025 Alderson 4th of July Parade Announces New Route Amid Bridge Repairs
The beloved Alderson 4th of July Celebration will carry on this summer with a few key changes, as town officials announce an updated parade route due to necessary repairs on the historic Memorial Bridge.
In a notice posted online, organizers shared that the parade will not cross into the Monroe County side of town this year. Instead, the route will continue along Riverview Avenue, remaining entirely on the Greenbrier County side. This change ensures the safety of participants and spectators while preserving the longstanding holiday tradition.
The parade's Quiet Zone—an area with reduced noise levels for young children, elderly residents, and those sensitive to loud sounds—has also been adjusted. The new Quiet Zone stretches from Virginia Street to North Monroe Street, and is marked in blue on the official event map.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to arrive early to find a good viewing spot and to be mindful of the revised route when planning their day. Despite the detour, Alderson’s Fourth of July festivities are expected to deliver the same small-town charm and patriotic spirit that have made it one of the region’s most treasured events.
More updates, including event schedules, fireworks information, and entertainment announcements, are expected in the coming days. Stay tuned to local news and Alderson’s official channels for the latest.
