PARADE BLEACHERS today!
Located at the corner of Madison Avenue and Merchant Row, this amenity allows for the viewing of the parade with style.
The Independence Day Parade is one of the best known and attended aspects of the Milton 4th of July Festival. People have been known to scout out their spots along the parade route days in advance!

Meet last year’s Parade Marshall:
Jarrett Goodman
Last year’s Parade Marshall is Jarrett Goodman, a Milton Resident since 1954!
Jarrett is a military veteran and served in the 101st Airborne Division in the US Army. This inspired him to work with other members of the community to create the Veterans Park here in Milton.
He has also worked for the US Postal Service for 31 years, and for 12 years was part of the EMT Commission, and is now on the Rock County Veteran Service Commission Board, advocating for our troops to be honored and supported in Rock County.
