A Wonderful (and Wacky) Warren Tradition

As one of the only states to form a republic before statehood in 1791, Vermont has an unusual take on independence. We Vermonters love it, revere it, and celebrate it like we’re still our own little country squeezed between the Yorkers (New York) to the west and the Yankees (New Hampshire) to the east.

And there’s no better example of celebrating that spirit of independence than the Warren 4th of July Parade that takes place right outside our door every year (well, almost; remember 2020?).

This year’s parade theme is Liberty, and that’s sure to mean some of the most creative, inventive floats this side of Disney.

Inn guests will have a front row seat to all the fun from the rockers and Adirondack chairs on our front porch, cheering the assorted players, from school kids to politicians to grand marshals, former inn owners Win Smith and Maggie Smith. In short, you won’t want to miss the excitement. Details and logistics can be found on the Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce website.

Also, our friends across Main Street at the Warren Store will be doing their part to celebrate with an ice cream cart and music following the parade from their upper porch.

You don’t want to miss this. Come as a spectator this year (we’re fully booked) and plan now to join us on the porch next year.
