Celebrate the Fourth at Hales Corners Park! Activities in the park and surrounding area begin with the Firecracker Four four-mile run. Spend the day and enjoy two parades: at 9 a.m., the children's parade, and, at 4 p.m., The Big Parade. Fun includes bed races (nearby), the patriotic pet-costume contest, children's field games, a hot-dog-eating contest, and more! To participate in a parade or contest, sign up at the Village website!
