Thank You, Volunteers!

To every volunteer who helped make the 2026 Grand Old Fourth a success: thank you.

This celebration simply would not happen without the incredible volunteers who generously gave their time, energy, and enthusiasm to our community. From setup and teardown to parade staging, volunteer check-in, vendor support, barricade monitoring, activity support, and everything in between, your dedication helped create an unforgettable Fourth of July for thousands of residents and visitors alike.

Whether you gave a few hours or spent the day with us, your contribution made a real difference. Every vendor you helped, every parade participant you checked in, every barricade you staffed, every table you set up, and every task you tackled behind the scenes helped keep the festival running smoothly and safely.

Grand Old Fourth is powered by community. It takes hundreds of people working together to bring Bainbridge Island's biggest annual celebration to life, and we are incredibly grateful that you chose to be part of it.

On behalf of the Grand Old Fourth Committee and our entire community, thank you for your hard work, flexibility, and willingness to jump in wherever you were needed. Your generosity and community spirit are what make this beloved tradition possible.

We hope you'll join us again in 2027!
