Riverfest Parade – Updated Route for 2025

Kick off your Fourth of July with the Riverfest Parade, starting at 10:00 AM on Friday, July 4th. Please note that due to ongoing construction on 2nd Street, there’s a new route for this year’s parade.

The parade will begin at Blanchette Park. Floats will exit the park near Memorial Hall and head down Randolph Street to Fifth Street. From there, the parade will continue to Clark Street, then Main Street, and finally wrap up at Boone’s Lick Street.

Bring a lawn chair, grab a coffee and donut from a local shop, and find your spot along the route to enjoy all the festive floats and local pride!

Fireworks Display

Cap off your Independence Day with a bang! The fireworks show will begin at 9:20 PM on Friday, July 4th. Find a spot in or around Frontier Park for a front-row seat to the spectacular display.


Whether you’re a longtime attendee or it’s your first Riverfest, you won’t want to miss this year’s celebration. Mark your calendars and come experience everything St. Charles has to offer this Fourth of July weekend!

I'm a 40-year-old father blessed with two wonderful children: a 13-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son. My life revolves around my beautiful wife, who is the cornerstone of our family. Without her unwavering support, none of what I do would be possible. By day, I serve as a network administrator for a local school district, ensuring smooth operations in the realm of technology. During the evenings, you'll often find me engrossed in various creative pursuits, from illustrating books to crafting websites or composing music. But above all, my priority is spending quality time with my kids. Parenthood has been a profound journey of growth and discovery for me, and now, armed with a keyboard instead of a pen, I'm eager to share my experiences and insights with others.
