Oconomowoc 4th of July Parade

Bring your family to the Oconomowoc 4th of July Parade on July 3, 2026. Enjoy a patriotic parade that travels from Roosevelt Park through downtown Oconomowoc leading to Fowler Park where you can enjoy refreshments from the Oconomowoc Rotary Club.

The parade route travels from intersection of Lisbon/North Lake roads south through downtown turning north through the roundabout. It heads up Walnut/Oakwood and ends at Fowler Park.

Friday, July 3

• 3:30 pm: Independence Day Parade Presented by the Oconomowoc Rotary Club.
• Rubber Duck Race: Flume near Veteran’s Park. Ducks released immediately after the last float of the parade passes the flume
  • “Ducks released at the flume (water between the two lakes at Veterans Park at 205 North Main Street) immediately after the last float of the parade passes.

    Grab your lucky duck at the Village Green before the parade kicks off at 3:30pm. $5 per duck or $20 for a Quack Pack (cash). 250 ducks will be sold.

    Once the final parade float passes Veteran’s Park, all ducks will be released into the flume.

    Best of all, every duck helps support the Friends of Oconomowoc Parks and Trails, making our parks, trails, and community even better.”

• 7:30 pm: Bands at the Beach at City Beach – Ain’t that America, a John Mellencamp Tribute
