Photographer Mike Schultz provides photos of the centerpiece event of the annual Fourth of July Celebration
The patriotic spirit of America was once again alive and well in the city of Ridgefield Friday as thousands gathered for the city’s annual Fourth of July Celebration. For more than 100 years area residents and visitors have flocked to the ever-growing Ridgefield community to celebrate our nation’s independence in a big way.
The celebration has grown into a festival where it’s estimated around 5,000 people come each year to bathe in the richness of spirit commemorating Old Glory. The all-volunteer festival committee strives to keep the focus of the festival on honoring our nation’s birthday while not representing any political or religious agendas.
Photographer Mike Schultz (Schultz Photography) was on hand to capture the images of the various participants of the 2025 Ridgefield Fourth July Celebration Parade, the centerpiece of the event. Here’s a look at those images:
