Celebrate July 4th at the 2024 Neighborhood Parade and Picnic in Somerset! Join us for the parade starting at 11:30 at the Somerset
Rec Club (at the corner of Somerset Blvd and Somerset Dr), and we’ll walk on Somerset Drive to the Forest Hill Neighborhood Park where the SCA will host a picnic with food and games from 11:45 – 1:30. Prizes will be given for best costumes, so show your patriotism, and don’t forget to decorate your transport (bikes, wagons, etc), and your well- behaved dogs.

Date: Thursday, July 4th, 2024
Time: Gathering begins at 11:15am
Location: Somerset Rec Club lower parking lot (corner of Somerset Boulevard and Somerset Drive, 4445 Somerset Boulevard)

Here are some exciting highlights of what you can look forward to on the day:

• We will gather in the Somerset Rec Club lower parking lot at the corner of Somerset Boulevard and Somerset Drive (4445 Somerset Boulevard). The parade along Somerset Drive starts at 11:30am and the route is about 0.8 miles, ending at Forest Hills Neighborhood Park (13232 SE 51st Pl). As always, fire engine 104 and Bellevue Police will lead the parade and join our picnic. A great chance for the little ones to see a fire truck up close and high-five a policeman! 
  
• We will have prizes for the best costumes (most patriotic individual, most original individual, most patriotic family), best decorated transport (bike, wagon, scooter), and most patriotic dog!  
• BBQ hot dogs (and veggie dogs), chips, drinks, and dessert will be available, hosted by the Somerset Community Association.
• We are planning for field games and other fun activities.
• Honey buckets with hand washing stations will be available at the park.
• Capture the memorable moments of the day by taking photos. We encourage you to share your photos with us by July 9th. Email them to [email protected]. We would love to feature the best photos in our upcoming publications.
