Independence Day Parade

The Madison Exchange Club celebrates the E.C. Scranton Memorial Library’s 125th anniversary and names it the Grand Marshal of Madison’s 2025 July 4thParade. To honor its Centennial, the North Madison Volunteer Fire Company will serve as honor guard and will lead the parade.

The Scranton Library held its opening dedication on July 1, 1900. At that time, Mary Eliza Scranton opened the library with 1,200 books. Today, there are over 100,000 volumes in its collection and the library is proud to have served over 100,000 visitors last year and offered more than 1,000 programs held for all ages. The E.C. Scranton Memorial Library has come a long way in its 125-year history. Madison is lucky to have this treasure.

On April 4th, 1925, fourteen men met in the basement of the North Madison Congregational Church to establish a fire company that would serve the 1880 neighbors in North Madison at the time. Today, the North Madison Volunteer Fire Company has over 50 volunteer members who collaborate with the Madison Hose Company and Madison Ambulance to ensure the safety and protection of North Madison residents.

Please join the Madison Exchange Club on Friday, July 4th to celebrate the 125thanniversary of the E.C. Scranton Memorial Library and the Centennial of the North Madison Volunteer Fire Company. 

Formation time is 8:30 to 9:45 AM in the Stop & Shop parking lot. The parade kicks off at 10:00 AM July 4th down Route 1 through the center of Madison and concluding at the Surf Club. See map below.
