Whether you live in Worthington Hills, grew up in the Worthington area or are a new resident of Worthington, the 4th of July celebration in Worthington Hills is an Independence Day staple.

2011 marks the 41st Worthington Hills July 4th Celebration. This year the theme is "Deck the Hills - Christmas in July".  Awards are given to the best floats, walking groups, trikes & bikes and more!  To enter, you must be a resident of Worthington Hills however any member of the Columbus Community is welcome to observe the parade and enjoy the festivities.  The line up begins on Clubview Blvd. at 11:15 and judging begins at 11:30 so bring your most creative "Christmas in July" ideas!

If you can't make the parade but would still like to have some Independence Day fun, a fireworks display begins at dusk that can be seen from almost anywhere off of Clubview Drive.  Can't wait to see you there!
