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.

Starting Thursday, New Hampshire parents and guardians can register their 12- to 15-year-old children for the COVID-19 vaccine on the state s website.
The move follows an FDA authorization of the Pfizer vaccine for that age group earlier this week, and a recommendation from the CDC.
Anyone under 18 needs to have consent from a parent or guardian to be vaccinated. That can be verbal consent at the time of vaccination, or it can be given electronically through a signed consent form during registration.
The state says there are plenty of appointments available, and some vaccination clinics have same day appointments.
Despite a fear of needles, 14-year-old Noa Mash of Newmarket says they are looking forward to being vaccinated.
