Independence Day Celebration and Parade

The traditional Independence Day Celebration Parade will take place on Main Street beginning at 9:00 AM.  Experience small town patriotism like no other at the Collinsville 4th of July Parade.

Starting at 4:00 PM in the Collinsville City Park we'll have food trucks galore, face painting, the annual turtle races, watermelon seed spitting contest and many more fun family activities.

The traditional Independence Day Celebration Turtle Races will take place at 4:30 at the Turtle Area near the Volleyball Courts. Start training those turtles to be a part of the winning team!

Enter the Big Freeze frozen shirt contest for a fast cool off when it's hot. Contestants will have to thaw out their frozen shirts and the first one to get it on will be the winner!  We will also once again be hosting the Human Battleship water activity.

The City of Collinsville will be passing our FREE watermelon at the event, and it doesn't get anymore small town America than that! Along with the FREE watermelon will be the watermelon seed spitting contest. That's sure to draw a crowd.

When the sun goes down, you'll be on the edge of your seat as the City of Collinsville puts on one of the best fireworks displays in Green Country. Choreographed to the sound of patriotic music blasting from the stage you won't be disappointed you came. Collinsville continues to grow this event and this year's event is sure to out show them all!
