Parade start time 10:30 AM

Rain or Shine

The Camp Meeting Association has begun planning for our Independence Parade. Our annual parade is an event symbolic of the rich tradition and customs that make Ocean Grove unique. The Parade and evening concerts are opportunities for us to gather as a community and celebrate the wonderful things and people that make Ocean Grove a special place to live, work and visit!

We are inviting parade participants to help us celebrate Ocean Grove’s special community by incorporating visual elements or musical selections that invoke the traditions of Ocean Grove, the theme of community and/or express what Ocean Grove means to you.

If you have any questions please reach out to our program coordinator, Catherine Juliano by email at program.staff@oceangrove.org or by phone at 732-229-1135. We look forward to your participation in this high-profile event. See below for route map. Division assignments will be emailed to you in early June and posted on this website.

Parade participants will need to check-in at Broadway and Central and then proceed to their staging area. Check-in begins at 8am, with the Parade start time of 10:30am.
