BEDFORD — One of the most anticipated summer traditions in Lawrence County, the Limestone Heritage Festival Parade, will roll through downtown Bedford on Saturday, June 28, 2025, bringing patriotic spirit, community pride, and lively entertainment to the city streets.
The parade is set to begin in the afternoon and will feature a vibrant lineup of marching bands, vintage vehicles, local organizations, fire trucks, classic tractors, floats, and more. This year’s theme pays tribute to Bedford’s deep limestone history and its role in shaping both the town and architectural landmarks across the country.
Crowds can expect high energy and family-friendly fun as community groups showcase their creativity with decorated floats and performances. Children are encouraged to bring bags for candy, and families should arrive early to secure prime viewing spots along the route.
The parade is just one highlight of the larger Limestone Heritage Festival, but for many residents, it represents the heart of the celebration, a visual and spirited reminder of Bedford’s unity and heritage.
Road closures and parking restrictions will be in effect around the parade route, and spectators are asked to plan accordingly. Follow updates on 2025 Limestone Heritage Festival for the parade map, start time, and weather-related changes.
