Your Front Row Seat in America's Most Patriotic Town
Linden Place's annual Fourth of July Picnic puts you in the center of the action with a front row seat to the oldest continuous Fourth of July parade in the country. Watch the parade from the front lawn of Linden Place, as people have done for generations. Leave the chairs and cooler at home and let us take care of everything for you with coffee and pastries in the morning, a gourmet bagged lunch, plenty of seating, real restrooms, and a place to cool off in our air conditioned ballroom.
Limited seating and a prime location means this event sells out every year.
