Edmonds Chamber 4th of July Parade Cancelled Due to COVID-19 Pandemic

7/1/2020 (Permalink)

For 113 years the Downtown Edmonds Parade on The 4^th of July has been a staple in the community for fun family memories and a time to come together in celebration. Unfortunately, the Edmonds Chamber announced that the festivities known as “An Edmonds Kind of Fourth” has been cancelled for the first time in 75 years. This is due to safety concerns brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. State and local laws are requiring social distancing and reduced gathering sizes in an effort to limit contact and prevent COVID-19 spread. Many local residents are saddened to be missing the event, including our team at SERVPRO of Edmonds who has participated in the parade with a float for the past several years. SERVPRO employees have fond memories of 2019 when we were awarded ‘most creative’ float by the Edmonds Chamber with our “Underwater’ theme (very fitting for our industry).

It is with a heavy heart that we miss out on parade participation this year, though we understand it is absolutely necessary to limit the spread of COVID-19 and keep the community safe. We miss seeing our community friends, neighbors and partners and we wish everyone a healthy and safe Fourth of July holiday. Remember to practice firework and barbecue safety. Call SERVPRO of Edmonds at 425-775-5723 if you have any fire or water issues as we will be open on the holiday, 24/7 as usual!
