In Catonsville, many have been preparing for their parade for weeks, and have been setting up chairs along Frederick Road to get the best possible seat to see all the fun. In Towson, organizers were setting up Saturday morning for the parade.

TOWSON, MD — It’s the first holiday in a year and a half without major coronavirus restrictions, and central Maryland is gearing up for big celebrations.

“This parade is over 125 years old and this is probably one of the most important biggest parades we’ve ever had,” said Nancy Hafford, organizer of Towson’s 4th of July Parade and Director of Towson’s Chamber of Commerce.

In Towson, organizers were setting up decorations for their parade, Bike Rush and Family Fun Run all happening on Saturday morning. “We’re all very excited and we’ve seen how happy people are to have a parade again cause it’s been two years,” said Hafford.
