The Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration Committee is proud to announce their theme for the 2014 celebration. The theme will be “The Star Spangled Banner, 1814 – 2014”.
The purpose of the Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration is to celebrate the USA and its history and to honor American Patriots of all times. For 2014, we would like to focus on our national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. We will celebrate the people and events
involved with creating this important American song.
The Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration began in 1910 when the local papers, the civic section of the Woman’s Club and the Ridgewood Fire Department joined forces to create a “safe and sane” holiday with an emphasis on Patriotism. It has grown into one
of the largest celebrations in the New York City area.
For many years the Readers of 201 Magazine have named our parade and fireworks as best in their Best of Bergen poll. Additional information
and answers to many of your questions can be found on the Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration Committee’s website at www.ridgewoodjuly4th.org.
The Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration is organized by the Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration, Inc., an all-volunteer community group. All aspects of this annual Celebration including fireworks, bands, evening performers, insurance, and police and
fire personnel are funded by voluntary contributions from businesses and individuals.

One of the more moving things that I’ve done in my 45 years is to go to down to DC and see the actual flag that flew over Ft. McHenry. It’s tattered and torn, and simply amazing.
