About this event
Downtown Ticonderoga is preparing for a very special year as we celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary and continue one of our community’s most beloved traditions — the Best 4th in the North.
This year the celebration is expanding with the return of a full carnival midway through a partnership between NRDC and Amusements of America, one of the nation’s premier traveling carnival companies. The parade, fireworks, and entertainment will be coordinated by North Country Roots, a volunteer committee formed by NRDC, which grew out of the Public Art Committee’s strategic plan to expand community events and celebrations, such as Walls Between Waters, Fireside Folk Festival, Cookies & Cheers, Hearts on Main, and Shades of Green.
