FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Towns of Eagar & Springerville Announce Updated Start Time and Theme for 2026 Fourth of July Parade and Rodeo
Eagar & Springerville, Arizona — The Towns of Eagar and Springerville jointly announce that the 2026 Fourth of July Parade will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m.
This adjusted start time has been coordinated to better accommodate the 2026 Round Valley Fourth of July Rodeo, which is scheduled to begin at 12:00 p.m. The change is necessary as the long-time Round Valley Rodeo announcer will be serving in a dual role on July 4, announcing not only for the Round Valley Rodeo but also for one of our neighboring communities on the same day.
In addition, the Towns are proud to announce that the theme for the 2026 Fourth of July Parade will be “America 250,” in recognition of the upcoming 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Parade participants are encouraged to incorporate the theme into their entries as the community comes together to celebrate this historic milestone.
By moving the parade start time to 9:00 a.m., the towns aim to ensure the continued success and smooth operation of both Fourth of July events, while honoring longstanding partnerships that contribute to the quality and tradition of our Independence Day celebrations.
The Towns of Eagar and Springerville will provide ongoing reminders of the updated parade start time on a monthly basis, with increased frequency as the Fourth of July approaches.
We sincerely appreciate the cooperation, understanding, and continued support of our residents and visitors as we work together to make the 2026 Fourth of July festivities enjoyable and memorable for all.
