By “We will be parading on July 4th from Huntington on Karl Road to Karl Road Baptist Church starting at 10am! Line up at 8:30,” Mike Troolin, Northland Parade Co-Chair announced as Northland Community Council, Columbus, Ohio prepares for the 2026 parade/250th anniversary of the United States.
“We are proud that our 62nd parade will be one of the many events that celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States within Ohio,” said Mike Troolin, who is also the President, The Karmel Woodward Park Civic Association of Northland, Ohio.
With two weeks to the July 4th parade, Mike Troolin said the parade committee will need more sponsors and volunteers “to make this a true celebration. 250th parade should have 250 participants.”
“This parade is a completely volunteer effort which requires hundreds of hours of dedicated work to pull together this annual event. We ask our commercial and political partners to pay a fee each year for the parade which helps support it.
“The funds pay for the permit, police, insurance, trash pick-up, crowd control, banners, signs, float awards, and the wonderful grants we are able to give to our High School programs. These funds are raised entirely by the volunteers asking for donations.
“This year we have added an opportunity on the entry form for you to donate to help the parade as well. We ask that you consider donating if you don’t pay a fee and if you do, if you could add an additional donation, that would be very much appreciated.”
