🌳 As Double Oak celebrates Independence Day and America’s 250th birthday, we're also honoring one of our own cherished hometown traditions.
Historical records indicate that Double Oak’s annual 4th of July Parade and Picnic dates back to approximately 1981, making this year’s celebration roughly the 46th annual parade. What began as a small-town gathering has grown into one of Double Oak’s longest-running community traditions, bringing neighbors, families, firefighters, and friends together for generations.
For nearly half a century, the Double Oak Volunteer Fire Department has helped make this event a cornerstone of community pride and fellowship. As we celebrate our nation's 250th year, we also celebrate the traditions that make Double Oak such a special place to call home.
Happy Independence Day, Double Oak—and thank you for 46 years of hometown tradition!
See you around town. ☀️
