Independence Day 2024

West Bend’s Independence Day Celebrations offer a fun and welcoming day of festivities for all ages! Enjoy the parade, food, music, games, and entertainment, then cap off the day with the Horicon Bank Fireworks. See you on the Fourth!

9:30 a.m. | Parade

Start the day with the West Bend Independence Day Parade at 9:30 a.m.

The parade begins at Badger Middle School, continuing north on Main Street to Cedar Street, 7th Avenue before returning to Main Street and concluding at Regner Park.

11 a.m. | Duck Derby

Stay in Regner Park after the parade for the 37th annual Kiwanis Duck Derby. Competitors paint the ducks to match this year’s theme, “Incognito Duck” then float them down the river to victory!

The Regner Park Beach is the perfect place to escape the hot July sun. Take a break from splashing in the swim pond and try your hand at building the City’s best sandcastle!

7 p.m. | Food, DJ, and Dancing

The fireworks don’t start until dark, but Riverside Park comes alive with activity in the evening, with food vendors, a DJ, entertainment, and more!

9:45 p.m. | Horicon Bank Fireworks

Of course, the fireworks are the main event. The show kicks off at 9:45 p.m., wrapping up a fantastic summer day in West Bend. You won’t want to miss it, so find a spot at Riverside Park and enjoy!
