Hamilton’s Independence Day parade changes routes for Sunday

The parade, which starts at 3 p.m., will travel westward on Dayton Street from the middle school to 7th Street, where it will go south to High Street on its way to its end at the usual location, near the historic Butler County courthouse.

“The premier location to be viewing it is going to be either in downtown on High Street, or a lot of people line up along Dayton Street and 7th,” Stone-Welch said.

The city had less time than usual to organize the parade, only starting in May after physical-distancing regulations were eased for the Covid-19 pandemic.
