Classic Car Cruise and Parade will precede Fairhaven’s annual Fort Phoenix ceremony

A classic car and vehicle cruise and parade will lead off Fairhaven’s July 4th celebration before the town’s annual ceremony at Fort Phoenix.

On Monday, July 4, 2016, the Car Cruise will line up at 8:30 a.m. at Fairhaven High School, 12 Huttleston Ave. There the “big flag” will be raised. The cruise vehicles will leave the high school at 9:00 a.m. and will cruise through the streets of Fairhaven. The cruise will wind up heading south on Green Street, passing Cushman Park.

A parade of floats and marchers will line up on the Green Street side of Cushman Park at 8:30 a.m. When the Car Cruise passes, the parade will step off from Cushman Park, heading south on Green Street along the same route the cruise took to the fort.

The Car Cruise and Parade are sponsored by the Fairhaven Lions Club and the North Fairhaven Improvement Association, with the help of local car clubs.

At approximately 10:00, an Independence Day Ceremony will be held at Fort Phoenix, concluding with the firing of the fort’s five large cannons.
