We hope everyone will join us on Saturday, April 18th in Historic Downtown Dandridge for the America 250 Celebration!

Why April 18th? This date holds an important place in American history—it marks the night of Paul Revere's Ride and the eve of the Battles of Lexington and Concord. As communities across the country begin building toward the nationwide 250th celebration in Washington, D.C. on July 4, small towns like ours are proudly honoring the moments that shaped our nation.

The Town of Dandridge is excited to showcase the very best of small-town America with a full day of history, music, and fireworks!

Parade Details

The parade will begin on Public Drive, cross the bridge into downtown, and conclude at Banner Street. For one of the most memorable moments of the day, we highly recommend gathering on the bridge in the pedestrian viewing area at 4:00 PM for the National Anthem and a commemorative flyover featuring P-51 Mustangs.
