The Rotary Club of Jacksonville’s 2026 Fourth of July Parade focused on “Celebrating Freedom, Service, and Impact, honoring those who willingly unite to build strong connections within our local and regional communities, creating a significant, positive, and lasting impact.” This year’s parade marshals were Rabbi Rob and Lauren Thomas.
The parade route from the Morgan County Fairgrounds to the downtown square was full of sunshine and the streets were lined with parade-goers decked out in red, white and blue — plus smiling children ready to collect the obligatory parade candy.
