“We encourage community members, organizations and businesses to submit nominations for the 2022 Grand Marshal as well as register to participate in the parade. For your Grand Marshal think of people who are truly dedicated to the community, serve the Ticonderoga Area throughout the year, and people who have been an inspiration to the community. We are looking forward to reviewing and discussing the nominations at the Best 4th In The North committee meeting following the nomination deadline. We have kept an ongoing list of past nominations to use as well,” stated Debbie Barber – Best 4th In The North Committee Chairperson.
Parade applications can be found at www.timainstreet.org, www.ticonderogany.com, or picked up at the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce (TMSP Coordinator) office in Downtown Ticonderoga. Past participants will be mailed a parade application as well.
The committee is encouraging the community to participate in a variety of ways. Parade participants are encouraged to register as early as possible for planning purposes. The committee would like to see floats from attractions, businesses, sports teams, clubs, organizations, etc. The committee encourages everyone to use the theme or red, white, & blue. There is no charge to participate in the parade but all entries must be family friendly and follow all parade guidelines.
Expanded and updated parade participate rules have been created by the committee. All parade participants must read and sign off on the rules as well as submit an application by the stated deadline of June 24th, 2022. No exceptions will be made. The entrance for check in for the parade will take place as you enter Race Track Road at the Route 74 entrance.
The Best 4th In the North Celebration attracts many visitors to the Ticonderoga area every year which supports local businesses and the local economy. A schedule for the 2022 celebration is currently being finalized by the committee. The celebration will take place July 1st – 4th, 2022 with a grand fireworks display, parade, Montcalm Mile (organized by the LaChute Road Runners), music, food, vendors, rides, games, and much more. The committee is working to bring new aspects to the event.
Without the support of our area businesses and community members the Best 4th In The North celebration would not be possible. The celebration costs approximately $32,000 each year with most of that being raised by the volunteer committee. The Town of Ticonderoga does support the celebration with $10,000.
Donations in support of the committee’s efforts are tax-deductible as the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership is a 501c3 Not-For Profit organization.
The Best 4th in The North committee is in need of more volunteers to help with the planning, fundraising and during the celebration. The committee typically meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 4:00 PM at the Chamber Office in Downtown Ticonderoga.
