The Village of Ridgefield Park is the quintessential All American Town. As with all small-town America, our Village is rooted in family, community, and tradition. The Fourth of July is our longest and deepest tradition. Preparation for the day's events begins months ahead of time. Businesses stock up on supplies for the special day.
Civic organizations begin organizing and planning the events.
Invitations are sent to outside organizations to participate. Emergency Service Units prepare for every possible occurrence so that residents and visitors to the Village can relax and enjoy the day. The Commissioners and Mayor coordinate all of the above, and of course, the Grand Marshall is chosen from among the many honored Village residents. Our Fourth of July celebration Parade gets bigger and the fireworks get more spectacular every year. People come from all over to join in the celebrations.
