Granite Shoals will host its annual Fourth of July Golf Cart Parade at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 4.

Participants can gather at the Granite Shoals Community Center, 1208 N. Phillips Ranch Road, at 8:15 a.m. before the parade begins and travels to Crockett Park, 702 Sherwood Forest Drive. No pre-registration is required, and only golf carts are permitted. Following the parade, attendees are invited to Crockett Park for complimentary hot dogs and refreshments, and awards will be handed out for the most patriotic golf carts. 

“The Fourth of July Golf Cart Parade has become a signature community tradition, and as our nation celebrates its 250th birthday, we are honored to bring residents and visitors together to commemorate this historic milestone, celebrate our shared heritage, and strengthen the connections that make our community so special,” City Manager Sarah Novo told DailyTrib. “Events like these remind us that the strength of our nation begins with strong communities and neighbors coming together in celebration.”

The event will also feature the community’s “Christmas in July” toy drive benefiting Operation Christmas Outreach. New, unwrapped toys will be accepted at the Community Center before the parade and at Crockett Park afterward. Donations also will be collected throughout July at the Granite Shoals Fire Station.

“The generosity of Granite Shoals residents has always been one of our greatest strengths, and every toy donated helps bring hope, joy, and the magic of Christmas to local children and families,” Novo said. “Together, we make a lasting impact and help ensure that every child has something special to celebrate each holiday season.”
