Get ready for the Milwood and Walnut Crossing Neighborhood Associations’ most popular event – the annual Independence Day Parade and Picnic at Balcones Park!
This year, the event will be held on Saturday, July 3rd.
As usual, the parade will begin at 10:30am at the Milwood Baptist Church parking lot. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in the parade, whether you want to walk, ride, cycle, or whatever… just as long as you’re in the holiday spirit!
- The parade will end at the Balcones District Park where volunteers will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs with all the fixings for everyone to enjoy.
- During the picnic we will be holding a general raffle for some great prizes donated by several local businesses. Tickets for the general raffle will be sold for 1 dollar each. Get a FREE ticket by renewing your neighborhood association dues for $15, or joining for the first time.
- Back by popular demand, the Austin Civic Wind Ensemble will again be joining us to play some holiday tunes. Bring a buck to throw into a tip jar for them, as they perform for free. Last year’s consensus was that they made the event “extra special”!
- We’re still looking for volunteers to help with setup, cooking, cleanup, and a few other odds and ends. If you can spare some time to make this event a success, contact us to volunteer.

We hope to see you there!
