Coverage of the 2026 Gregory 4th of July Parade continues here. See other posts at stockbridgecommunitynews.com for the lead-up to the parade and parade participants.

In its 51st year, the 2026 Gregory 4th of July Parade tried something new: the festivities began at 10 a.m. instead of the usual noon start time of previous years. But that didn’t stop spectators from showing up. Sure, there were a few disappointed souls who realized, too late, that they missed this year’s event, but many made it into town for the parade, as evidenced by the abundance of lawn chairs on the sidelines.

This year marks the 250th birthday of our great nation. And you have to hand it to the folks in and around Unadilla Township—they know how to dress for Independence Day!

Here we share photos of those on the sidelines for the Gregory 4th of July Parade, they played a big part in making the 2026 parade a success!

Enjoy, and see you next year!
