Watch this 2026 Fourth of July Parade from Thomaston, ME. The town celebrated “250 Years of Stars, Stripes, and Summer Nights” in a parade that had twice as many participants as in previous years – community floats, local honorees, bands, politicians, kids, horses, and fun. The 2026 Grand Marshal was Roberta Carmichael, who has devoted more than 13 years serving her neighbors at the local food pantry. Two students are chosen to represent the town – Mr Thomaston Jackson Russomano and Ms Thomaston Autumn Hill.
