Pittsfield Fourth of July Parade and Events
Berkshire250, Family Friendly, Festivals, Holidays, Outdoor Event
July 4 | 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Pittsfield’s Fourth of July Parade will take on a distinctly local focus in 2026 with the announcement of its theme: America 250 – Pittsfield Celebrates the Generations. While the year marks the nation’s 250th anniversary, the parade theme centers on the people, places, and stories that have shaped Pittsfield and the Berkshires across generations. This theme invites the community to reflect on how Pittsfield’s own history — its neighborhoods, industries, cultural institutions, civic traditions, and families — connects to the broader American story. From early settlement and Revolutionary-era roots to industrial growth, post-war community life, today’s creative economy, and the next generation shaping Pittsfield’s future, the parade will highlight the many eras that define life in the Berkshires. You can watch the parade live here.
