Do you like the Arbutus Fourth of July parade?

Do you sit along East Drive and watch as the bands march by and your friends and family wave from community floats?

This Arbutus tradition is a favorite for all residents, young and old.

However, the celebration doesn't come without cost. It is estimated that this year's festivities will cost in excess of $35,000 with all but $3,000 already raised from generous donations.

We invite you to partner in giving a gift to the community by sending a tax deductible donation, large or small, to the Arbutus Fourth of July Committee, Arbutus Recreation and Parks Council, P.O. Box 7437, Baltimore, MD 21227.

Donate in any amount and be a part of Arbutus' holiday celebration — a day of patriotism, community pride and memories that will last a lifetime.
