Catonsville Celebration

Since 1947, the community of Catonsville has celebrated Independence Day with a Grand Parade. It started when a Catonsville resident, Marie
O’Dea, wanted to provide a “safe and sane holiday” for the community. She felt that deaths and injuries on the highway could be reduced if the community could stay home and take part in a full day of activities. Thus, the first parade was held and six decades later, the two hour parade is a integral part of Catonsville’s July 4th tradition. A fireworks display was added to the festivities in the 1950’s and today, is a regional favorite, attracting an estimated 60,000 people each year.
The Big Chair
Today, the parade and fireworks are part of a 13 hour day of July 4th festivities beginning at 9:30 a.m. and continuing until 10:30 p.m. that also includes children’s games and races and concerts. We invite you to participate in all these activities and enjoy this fun-filled Catonsville tradition.
