Proudly in it’s 95th year, the city of Burien’s 4th of July Independence day parade is the oldest and one of the best attended in King County. The parade has also been officially sanctioned by SEAFAIR as a Seafair Community Event. “Seafair believes in celebrating the traditions of our region, resources and diverse residents. The thirty festivals and parades selected as Seafair Community events are important elements of our healthy communities” says the Seafair Foundation.

Every year, thousands of spectators gather along the parade route in downtown Burien to see marching bands, floats, Seafair Pirates and much more! The parade starts at 3pm and runs approximately 2 hours.

There is still time to get your Parade entry in! Visit the website www.discoverburien.org under ‘events’, ‘summer events’. We’d love to see you!
Many local restaurants and businesses are planning to stay open especially for the parade and will be offering specials. The parade route is the same as last year starting on SW152nd street and 8th Ave, proceeding east bound on SW 152nd St, making a right south onto 2nd Ave where it will then move west on SW153rd and finally finish at Ambaum and SW153rd.

If you have any questions at all about the parade please visit our website www.discoverburien.org, email us at assistant@discoverburien.org or call us at (206) 433-2882. We’re looking forward to celebrating this 4th of July with all of you in Burien, the best little city in America.
