Orinda hosted its traditional Fourth of July parade this year, with many regularly scheduled activities returning after being in abeyance during the COVID-19 pandemic. The city was decorated with colorful banners on the light posts throughout downtown for weeks before the event. The day kicked off at 7:30 a.m. with a pancake breakfast fundraiser by Lamorinda Sunrise Rotary on the Library Plaza. At 8 a.m. participants set off on the Run for A Reason, in support of The Sudden Unexplained Death in Children Foundation. The flag was ceremonially raised at the Community Center at 8:45 a.m. and city and local elected officials dedicated the new City in Nature library mural before the Friends of the Orinda Library's Book Sale. This was followed by a concert in the park by local band Three Day Weekend.
The parade this year was chaired by Sally Hogarty and co-chaired by Marianne Moser.
Before the parade, the Lewiston Jazz Band provided entertainment on the Village side. During the parade, spectators were treated to passing musical entertainment from a number of bands, including Concord Blue Devils C Corp with tall flags, MJ Brass Boppers with stilt walkers, St. Gabriel's Celestial Marching Band, Peter Pan Foundation, Orinda Idol Singers, East Bay Banjo Band, Spirit of '29 Dixieland Jazz and the Lamorinda Volunteer Marching Band.
