HPC Credit Union is now accepting registration forms for the HPC Credit Union Fourth of July Parade. This year’s theme is Stars, Stripes & Summer Nights. This should be the dominating factor in preparing your entry and from there let your imagination take over. Entries will be judged on theme, creativity and appearance. Appropriate music is highly encouraged.  

The parade begins at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, July 4, 2025, at the Alpena County Fairgrounds, ending in the large parking lot on the right before the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

There is no entry fee this year for the parade.

Registration forms are available at HPC Credit Union on Ripley or Chisholm or at www.hpccu.com –> Resources –> Fourth of July Parade 2025. Forms must be turned in by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25th, 2025. Late registrations will not be accepted.

Winners will be announced on HPC Credit Union Fourth of July Facebook page after the parade and in the press on Monday, July 7th, 2025. Prizes will be given for first & second place in commercial and non-commercial categories.
