Orange County, Vermont, does the Fourth the way a region that actually knows its neighbors does it: parades, folk music on a farm, lakefront fireworks, and community gatherings at the local commons. The calendar is full, and Polestar Cannabis is your local stop before any of it begins!
July 4th Events In and Around Randolph
1. Randolph Fourth of July Parade and Recreation Field Festival
Location: Randolph Recreation Field, Randolph, VT
When: July 4, 2026, parade at 10 AM; festival immediately following
The largest town celebration in the area returns with the theme “Freedom 4 All.” A holiday parade with regional floats, horses, and oxen carrying through Randolph’s Main Street on a streamlined route (note: this year’s route bypasses the traditional Hospital Hill loop due to local police staffing logistics).
The parade flows directly into an all-day festival at the Recreation Field: live music, food trucks, bounce houses, face painting, free community swimming, a dunk tank, and the annual duck race. One of the most full-spirited small-town July 4th formats in Vermont!
2. Corinth Independence Day Folk Concert
Location: Crossmolina Farm, 109 Grist Mill Rd, Corinth, VT 05039
When: Saturday, July 4, 2026, starting at 6 PM
Folk and Americana duo The Rough & Tumble will perform a live outdoor set at Crossmolina Farm as the evening’s July 4th soundtrack. This is a fun Vermont experience on a working farm, with an open-air setting and acoustic music from a well-regarded touring act.
3. Four-Day Lake Morey Fourth of July Celebration in Fairlee
Location: Lake Morey Resort, 82 Clubhouse Rd, Fairlee, VT 05045
When: July 2–5, 2026
This celebration at Fairlee runs across four days: an official community parade, an afternoon barbecue luncheon, live outdoor music across multiple evenings, and a lakefront fireworks display. A complete long-weekend option for anyone who wants to anchor a July 4th trip around water and community programming.
4. Chelsea Fourth of July Community Gathering

When: All day, July 4, 2026
Chelsea’s North Common hosts the town’s annual Independence Day assembly, where local residents and holiday visitors gather at one of Vermont’s classic small-town commons.
