Brattleboro Gos Fourth Seeks Donations, Parade Entries
“By the People: Brattleboro Goes Fourth” is seeking donations and parade participants as it prepares to celebrate the town’s 53rd Independence Day event on Saturday, July 4, 2026.
The all-volunteer citizens committee will begin the day at 10 a.m. with a parade from Flat Street to Main Street and the Common. The shorter route comes after requests from older marchers and challenges finding enough volunteers and public safety patrols to monitor a longer distance.
Bands from the local American Legion and Brattleboro Union High School are set to join veterans, civic and youth groups and personality Alfred Hughes Jr., who will cap the event by debuting his annual top-secret ensemble.

Heat Fund Update
The 21st year of the Windham County Heat Fund has been the most unusual year of the organization’s existence. When the heating season began in the fall of 2025 we were forced to consider a world without federal fuel assistance. It looked like the Trump administration was going to eliminate the Low Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) program and we were scrambling to figure out how to raise more money to make up our local share of a potential $21 million dollar loss to Vermont.
We held a concert fundraiser in September and set up a Go Fund Me page. The page and the concert brought in $8915. After a few months of more intensive fundraising the federal government sent the LIHEAP money. But we still believe that Trump wants to eliminate the program and he may do so when the allocation is up for consideration.
