In Montgomery, Ohio, the annual Fourth of July parade is a long honored tradition. To keep it up during the pandemic, they've decided to do a 'reverse parade' this year — where the units are stationery and the spectators drive through.

In Montgomery, Ohio — a small suburban Cincinnati community of about 10,000 where lawns are lush green and American flags abound — the annual Fourth of July parade is a long tradition. So when the pandemic threatened to cancel the annual parade, they decided to retool it. This year Montgomery is having a reverse parade where the units are stationary and motorists drive through, says Julie Machon, as she stands in a driveway overlooking a large high school parking lot. Each of the 50 or so parade entrants will have their own space safely apart from each other, kind of like a big flea market, according to Machon, the city's recreation director. Spectators, however, will stay in their cars and weave up and down the aisles.
The fire department will suspend a giant American Flag from a ladder truck. The marching band is out but a small ensemble of students will play patriotic tunes. There will be classic cars, the American Legion and Purple Heart Veterans, and performers from the Cincinnati Circus Company, where Ali Weibul is creative director.How To Celebrate July 4th Safely During The Coronavirus Pandemic
