The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has again forced the cancellation of the annual Mayville Fourth of July parade. However, there will be fireworks, just as there was in 2020.
MAYVILLE — The annual Fourth of July parade in Mayville has been canceled for the second year in a row.
During the Mayville Village Board meeting Tuesday, Mayor Ken Shearer announced the planning committee has determined they need to cancel the parade due to COVID-19 concerns. But even without the parade there will be fireworks, just as there was in 2020.
Shearer said the fireworks would be placed at the same location as last year near the boat launch at Lakeside Park. Parking and attendance will be limited, depending on what the state guidelines are at that point.
