CITY OF HEATH SPECIAL EVENTS BOARD

JOIN THE CITY OF HEATH IN DECORATING OUR HOMETOWN RED, WHITE AND BLUE!

JULY 4TH, 2020

We love our annual community traditions, including the July 4 Parade and Patriotic Program in the Park. However, this is a unique and challenging time in our history, and a time for continued caution. As a result, the July parade and program will be canceled.

There’s no social distancing plan for a parade that has half the town in it, and half watching. So on July 4 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., the City will bring the festivities to your neighborhood including old fashioned ice cream trucks loaded with the traditional free red, white and blue popsicles and all kinds of other treats for purchase.

A Mini Drive-By Parade

Heath DPS will lead the ice cream trucks with the sirens and lights ablaze, and other decorated vehicles circulating include City Councilmember families judging the first ever Heath Hometown Decorating Contest.

Ice Cream Routes

Download the map below and zoom to your neighborhood to see  an APPROXIMATE time and location. Trucks will be at each location for approximately 25 minutes. If you miss the truck in your neighborhood they will gather in the main parking lot at Rockwall-Heath High School around 3:15 pm and continue to serve for an additional 30 minutes.

Hometown Heath Decorating Contest

To participate, submit your name, email, phone and address to sbrooke@heathtx.com by July 1. Then drench your home or business in red, white and blue by July 3. Judges will drive by as many homes/businesses as possible. 10 Winners will be announced by 4 p.m. on July 4 and receive a $50 gift card to a Heath restaurant.

2020 Heath T-shirt

You can also show your patriotic spirit with the 2020 July 4 T-shirt. The shirts are just $15. Order them online by midnight June 22 for pick up week during the week of June 29-July 3.

ORDER YOUR T-SHIRT ONLINE NOW (AllSports)

WATCH FOR MORE INFO

The Drive By route for the ice cream trucks and approximate times will be posted by June 26 and shared on social media. In the meantime, plan your family front yard gathering to celebrate, safely!
