We’re on the route and open 8-12:30 -or when the parade ends. (Please note the earlier closing time!) We’ll have a limited menu for the 4th, but promise you’ll find something super yummy to eat or drink while you watch the parade.🥤☕️🥯🥐🍪

🇺🇸 The Fourth of July parade is almost here!

Check out the parade route and plan your best viewing spot now. Then stick around after the parade to shop, dine, and explore Downtown Ames.

Many Downtown businesses will be open and ready to welcome you before, during, and after the parade. The parade begins at 11:00 a.m. and is one of Downtown Ames' biggest summer traditions.

See you downtown! ❤️🤍💙
