VOLUNTEER SURGE PRESERVES HOMETOWN PARADE & BEER/WINE GARDEN |
We asked and over the past few days, you more than delivered - we now have more than 100 generous Islanders donating their time to make sure all parts of the Grand Old 4th go ahead as planned...
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

THE 2022 HOMETOWN PARADE GRAND MARSHALS ARE THE BAINBRIDGE PREPARES PARTNERS |
If the return of the Grand Old 4th is in many ways a celebration of all the ways in which our community has pulled together over the past 2 years, then the choice for this year's Grand Marshal is obvious, if a little unconventional...
At the head of this year's parade, we are delighted to announce you will see the leaders of the Bainbridge Prepares Partners (Bainbridge Prepares, COBI, BIFD, and the Community Pharmacy), alongside numerous supporting local organizations and hundreds of Island volunteers...
Yes, you did read that right: It will be both a parade-within-a-parade, and a small recognition of what has been their amazingly huge effort to ensure that vaccinations were available to every Islander and many of our neighbors too.
On behalf of the Chamber and our community, we offer our grateful thanks...

Tour Bainbridge and Hyla Schools will supply shuttle services for $2 per trip on July 4 |
|
OF PARKING, PEDESTRIANS, SHUTTLES AND MORE |
Due to the limited parking and widespread street closures, we encourage everyone on Island to walk, bike, or park outside of Winslow and take advantage of a special shuttle service into the festivities.
The pick-up/drop-off shuttle will run from the Ace Hardware parking lot to the BIPD station at the corner of Winslow and 305 from 10am to 6pm with a one-way fare of $2/person.
