America’s Birthday Parade will “Let Freedom Ring” in downtown St. Louis

ST. LOUIS CITY, Mo. (KMOV) - St. Louis will once again celebrate America’s birthday with one of the longest-running parades across the Nation.

America’s Birthday Parade brought to you by Weber Chevrolet will fill the streets of downtown St. Louis on July 2 starting at 10 a.m. Similar to previous years, dozens of floats will head west from Fourth and Market Streets at Kiener Plaza to 20th Street. The 2022 theme will be “Let Freedom Ring”.

“America’s Birthday Parade has been a summer tradition in St. Louis since 1878, and we are thrilled to wow parade-goers with an elaborate spectacle of floats, choreographed dances and live performances in a parade down Market Street in the shadow of the iconic Gateway Arch,” says Ed Mayuga, spokesperson for America’s Birthday Parade.

The parade will be broadcast live on KMOV and the KMOV streaming apps.
