Brandon Independence Day Celebration

If you are going to pick one Vermont town to visit on Saturday, July 5, 2025, you’ll want to choose Brandon. This small town knows how to throw a party and there are free events planned from morning to night and for everyone in the family. Brandon has been celebrating Independence Day with a grand parade for decades. This year, besides the procession there will be bands in the parks, the Heritage train giving rides up Park Street and two auction sites where you can take home winnings on the same day. Additionally, there will be a beer garden, music in the parks, our world-famous Little Debbie Swiss Cake Roll Eating Contest, an evening street dance and fireworks at dusk that can be seen from up to a mile away. With its newly revitalized streetscape, multiple downtown pocket parks and waterfalls, gorgeous historic architecture, quaint shops, and multiple lodging options and restaurants, Brandon is a top choice for visitors from all over and for all ages. Brandon is situated at the crossroads between Routes 7 and 73 between lakes and mountains. The Moosalamoo National Recreation Area is just up the road a piece and Branbury State Park is just a stone throw’s away. Start making your plans to be in Brandon on July 5. Brandon’s Favorite Day!
