Canfield. July 4th The parade starts at precisely 10:10AM, leaving the Canfield Fairgrounds, proceeding north on South Broad Street to the Square. Once at the square, it circles due west and then comes back around the west end of the green area and ends on route 62 in the Middle School parking lot. The Mahoning County Commissioners plan to participate in this parade.
Prior to the parade there is a kid's race around the square at 8:30AM and an adult "Firecracker 4-mile run race" at 9:00AM. The green area will be closed from 8:30AM until after both races and the parade. Numerous activities will be held on the green from the end of the parade until the middle of the afternoon. Kids games will be coordinated on the north end of the green and other adult games and bands on center of the green. This is truly a homecoming day for many families living (or have lived in 
Canfield). Unfortunately, this year there will NOT be fireworks; however, we have been told to expect a show to remember next year!
