The parade steps off from Dunton & Oakton, travels South on Dunton to Miner, and then East to Recreation Park and the Festival.
The 2026 Parade Route!
Please respect your Arlington Heights neighbors along the parade route and refrain from reserving a spot in the parkway until after 7:00pm on July 3rd. NO TARPS.

Viewing Location for Persons with Disabilities
Frontier Days Inc. and The Village of Arlington Heights Commission for Citizens with Disabilities have secured an area across the street from the reviewing stand and the Library for people in wheelchairs. This area will be used for viewing our annual 4th of July Parade. The area will be marked as reserved and will accommodate 12 people in wheelchairs plus one companion each.
Temporary handicapped parking spaces will be conveniently located south of the wheelchair seating area in the Library’s parking lot. These spaces (along the east side of the Library’s parking lot) will be marked as temporary handicapped parking spaces for the morning of the parade only. Please come and enjoy the parade!
