Photographer Mike Schultz spent the holiday in Ridgefield
Ridgefield has been doing the Fourth of July right for more than 100 years now.
Check off another year of excellence from the all-volunteer committee that organizes the city’s annual festival. Oh, and a shout-out to the city itself, and all the visitors — those from Ridgefield and those from beyond — who made 2024 yet another special year for a day sponsored by the colors of red, white, and blue.
“The patriotic spirit of America is alive and well in the City of Ridgefield,” organizers say on the Fourth of July Festival’s website.
It is also important to note that the committee strives to keep the focus of the festival on honoring the nation’s birthday while not representing any political or religious agendas. It is a festival for all.
The main event has to be the parade as thousands of people line the route every year to celebrate Independence Day.
Photographer Mike Schultz captured many images of the Fourth of July parade in Ridgefield.
