The small town of Faith in eastern Rowan County, NC, welcomes hundreds of visitors each year to its week-long Faith Fourth of July celebration. A tradition since 1946, the celebration allows the town to bask in patriotic pride with red, white, and blue banners, flags, and clothing everywhere you look. It is considered one of the largest Fourth of July celebrations in the state. The event includes fireworks, barbecue, patriotic choirs, a midway, games, and a parade that extends a mile and half on Main Street.

The Salisbury Chapter will have a float in the parade, and NC SAR President Steve McKee plans to attend.  Information for SAR participants:  Parking is available at the Faith Academy faculty lot on Gardner Street.  It can be accessed off Faith Road coming from Salisbury or Legion Club Road coming from Granite Quarry.  The roads will be closing at 9 am so we need all participants to be at the parking area no later than 8:30 am.  The first shuttle will leave at 8 am.  The parade starts at 10. We will provide shuttle service to the beginning of the parade.  The parade ends at our parking area.  DO NOT park in the Faith Academy main lot.  You may get a ticket or worse, towed. Dress for the float is either SAR shirt or colonial.   For further info contact the parade chairman, Garret Frick at .
