The Fourth of July is one Madeline Island’s favorite holidays and the traditional kick-off to the summer season. Celebrated with a parade and a bang, it has been described as one of the TOP 10 small town celebrations for the 4th in the entire country!
The Madeline Island 4th of July celebration starts at 10:30 a.m. with a parade that includes entries from firetrucks and ambulances to floats and reunion marching units.
Following the parade, there is a program on the village green in front of the Madeline Island Museum which includes music and speeches appropriate to the occasion. This is a not-to-be-missed program and also includes the awarding of all the parade trophies.
Our spectacular fireworks show will light up the La Pointe skies at 9:45pm.
