the Ridgewood Fourth of July Committee
Ridgewood NJ, this is the 109th Ridgewood fourth of July parade !
DONATE HERE TO SUPPORT THE TRADITION!
Each year, the Fourth of July Celebration Committee chooses a theme that celebrates a certain aspect of American history or culture. The theme also serves as the basis for the float competition held among the town’s elementary schools.
The 2019 celebration theme as “ALL-AMERICAN SUMMER.” The theme aims to celebrate all things summer in America – backyard barbeques, baseball games, outdoor concerts, camping, fairs, cross country road trips, or driving to the Jersey shore – we all have a favorite!
The Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration is a non-profit, all volunteer organization that relies on sponsors, private donations and fireworks ticket sales to fund the day’s festivities, security and all other costs. Please consider making a donation to keep our great tradition alive!
Thanks to all who support, volunteer, donate and work to make our celebration a great success year after year!

If domestic practitioners of political science are to be credited with any insights at all into this topic, the Ridgewood 4th of July parade may be the biggest reason Ridgewood is still a “mix” when it comes to politics. For that reason, if the professional anarchists among us get the notion to step up their game and begin the final purge, this hallowed tradition could fall victim direct political attack and come to a quick end.
Charlottesville, Jefferson’s personal gift to “his country” (Virginia), is embarrassed of its direct association with that founder, and as our president predicted, is now trying to purge him from its public square.
The baleful aspects of a nearly 200-year-old U.S. political party (symbolized by the stubborn jackass or donkey), e.g., fighting FOR slavery, resisting reconstruction and the critical 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, pushing white supremacy, founding and using the KKK as a domestic political enforcement arm (including lynching new black citizens and burning crosses), instituting Jim Crow laws, the poll tax, and 100 years of racial segregation, resisting the civil rights laws of the 1960’s and engaging in further domestic terrorism (SDS, Weathermen, Black Panthers, etc.), are being erased from history by the busy beavers of the Ministry of Truth even as the economic and educational suppression of blacks and other minorities continues apace via corrupt and ruthless state and city-level political corruption and one-party rule.
And Nike, at Kaepernick’s prompting, is purging itself of the image of America’s first flag designed by Philadelphia’s Betsy Ross.
Residents of sleepy Ridgewood should wake up and prepare themselves for the onslaught to come, lest our patriotic 4th of July Parade tradition pass into history at the hands of militant nihilists who have changed the color of their masks from white to black but are otherwise the same bloodless crew of cruel enforcers.
I love my country and its values and ideals too much to ignore what celebrating the fourth of July means to me. It means all of our, America’s ideals and freedoms, that is what the fourth means to me.
But today like years back during the Vietnam War, I cannot celebrate the fourth while those who seek asylum in this country are kept in detention camps; and children are separated from parents. I passively, like during the Vietnam period, will quietly not celebrate nor participate. Migrants, immigrants in detention camps is not the American way. A ground swell of true Americans will do away with the detention camps. I will vote against those who propagate detention camps. America must become great again. Right now I feel shame. But I have hope that change will come.
did you vote against Obama , his admin build the cages ?
Cut the parade from 3 hours to 30 minutes and maybe I’ll watch. No offense to Midland Park, but if I want to see their fire trucks, I’ll go to their town.
Wow talk about someone being confused… or rather brainwashed by the dozens of right wing kooks on the NYC area radio dial (take your pick)
Lol what a convoluted “opinion”…
Phuck 4th because our country is run by local political parasites and pedophiles in Congress
