The wild, messy, five person team relay the whole town packs the park to watch. Each team is two males, two females and a captain.

Double elimination bracket, first team to 21 advances. Grab a partner and bring your best game.
Deck out your golf cart in red, white and blue and bring it to the park for judging. The more festive, the better.
Enter a float, marching unit or decorated vehicle. This year's theme is Happy Birthday, America! The Big 250. Free to enter, with cash awards for the best.
This year the parade begins with something special overhead. The Civil Air Patrol's Indianapolis Senior Squadron will open the 4th of July Parade with a flyover. Keep your eyes on the sky as the parade steps off at 1:00 PM on the Fourth.
Chartered by Congress in 1941, the Civil Air Patrol is a nonprofit public service organization and the civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. Its volunteers fly most of the nation's inland search and rescue missions, lead aerospace and STEM education, and mentor young people through cadet programs. The Indianapolis Senior Squadron is an adult unit based in Fishers, flying community missions and cadet orientation flights across Indiana.
"Volunteers serving America's communities, saving lives, and shaping futures."
We close out America's 250th with a brand new drone show lighting up the sky, followed by fireworks over Lebanon. No registration needed. Just bring a blanket and the whole family. If rain forces a delay, the rain date is Sunday, July 5 at 10:00 PM. The carnival runs every evening from 5:00 to 11:00 PM, June 30 through Sunday, July 5.

Mark your calendar. Here is the full lineup, from the Baby Boone Contest in June all the way to the fireworks on the Fourth.
Real moments from past celebrations in Lebanon. The faces, floats and fireworks that make this week ours.
For generations, the Boone County 4th of July Committee has thrown Lebanon its biggest party of the year. It is the kind of hometown Fourth that people fly back for, from all across the country, just so they do not miss it.
In 2026 that tradition meets a once in a lifetime milestone: America's 250th birthday.
