Brandon has been celebrating Independence Day with a grand parade for decades. This year, besides the procession there will be bands in the parks, the Heritage train giving rides up Park Street and two auction sites where you can take home winnings on the same day. Additionally, there will be a beer garden, our world-famous Little Debbie Swiss Cake Roll Eating Contest, an evening street dance and fireworks at dusk that can be seen from up to a mile away.
