Folding chairs have begun lining the curbs of Ridgewood, which can mean only one thing: The Fourth of July is just around the corner.
A tradition for village residents, the annual marking of one’s territory along the July Fourth parade route starts two weeks in advance of the holiday.
“The Star-Spangled Banner,” and the people and events surrounding its composition, will be remembered this year, with the anthem serving as the parade’s theme.
In addition, the Ridgewood Historical Society will display a copy of a Currier and Ives print titled “The Star Spangled Banner” in the Schoolhouse Museum as part of the festivities.
While the parade is free, the annual fireworks display at Veterans Memorial Field that evening is not.
