Start the holiday by showing your patriotic spirit at the annual Independence Day Parade, held through Historic Downtown Leesburg beginning at 10:00 am.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The parade will start at Ida Lee Park, lead by the American Originals and travel down King Street and conclude at Fairfax Street. Put on your patriotic best and join your friends and neighbors to celebrate the birthday of the United States!<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
This year\u2019s parade will also feature the 16th annual Patriot\u2019s Cup Competition, sponsored by the Loudoun Now newspaper. This award will go to the best parade entry; winners\u2019 names will be engraved on the Patriot Cup, which will be on display at Town Hall.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
A real patriot treat for the parade is the parade prelude of the American Originals fife & Drum Corps sponsored by Toth Financial! This patriotic group will travel the parade route beginning at 9:45am from Ida Lee Park and stop throughout the route for short performances for the crowd to enjoy!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
