Contribute Today

We are an all-volunteer group and rely on community financial support to make July 4th events happen. Over half of our budget comes from individual community member contributions. Make a contribution today!

The July 4th Group currently consists of just a few Narbs and Nearbs working year-round doing our best to put together this beloved annual community event. We are stretched thin and can use your help.

Consider joining our planning group or taking on a specific long-term task like fundraising, helping develop business support, building up our social media presence, or finding alternative ways to reach our audience. We encourage you to email us and let us know your interest.

All events take place in Narberth Park, PA and are free to attend.

Games cost $1 each to play, and unlimited entry to a bouncy house is $5 for the day. Tickets for games can be purchased at the event. Cash is preferable. Credit cards with tap-to-pay and Apple Pay will be accepted ($20 min). Food, drink, and toys will be available for sale.

If you enjoy our events, please consider making a contribution. We are a volunteer-run organization and rely on individual donations to keep these events going.*

We're treating the daytime and evening activities as separate events -- a rain call on one does not mean a rain call on the other.

Daytime events - in case of bad weather, a decision will be made at 8am and posted here and on our Facebook and Instagram accounts. No rain date for daytime activities.

Evening events -- in case of bad weather, a decision will be made at 6pm and posted here and on our Facebook and Instagram accounts with info on a rain date.

In 2022, a new initiative to bring back Narberth's 4th of July Celebrations, both daytime and evening, began with a call for volunteers by Borough resident Aaron Silvers. Together with neighbors and friends, the group developed the events anew, supported with seed money by the Narberth Business Association, a 501(c)6 non-profit organization. We have a separate bank account under the NBA, and our fundraising goes towards recouping funds for these events and hopefully to other Narberth events into the future. 

If you want to help throughout the year, send an email and let us know your interest. All are welcome!

The 2024 July 4th Group appreciates your support!
