Wimberly 4th of July Parade
2024-07-04 10:00 - 14:00 (America/Chicago)
Road Relics – Wimberley Independence Day Parade – Save the Date
Visitors to Wimberley are invited to bring a chair, grab a hat and sunglasses and plan to get comfortable watching a unique assembly alongside residents who enjoy this as another of Wimberley’s annual events.
Staging begins early in the Wimberly High School parking lot and everyone must be there before 9:00 am. Judging begins at 8:30 am with the parade starting at 10:00 am. Restrooms will be open across from the high school at the tennis courts. We will be directed to line up after our entry is assembled and all our parade participants are present. We will be assigned a number at the parade.
The slideshows below offer a glimpse at midsummer in Wimberley, Texas over the last 17 years. From drought conditions to flooding, rain or shine, the annual 4th of July celebration carries on…even when it must be postponed a few weeks. The 4th of July parade and “Jubilee” are a reference to old-time small town celebrations and are always fun to attend.

Please join the Road Relics for cold refreshments at the annual Ice Cream Social
George is hosting this event which has always been a hit. Come join the fun.
The event was a hit. Here is a recap from DJ
The Texas sun was up to it’s usual June gig but we’ve learned homemade ice cream is a great way toa beat the heat. Inside the museum at George Bruner’s place, cooool reigned as we gathered for our annual ice cream social with the Model T club. With several flavors of fresh homemade ice cream & a table full of treats it was easy to forget your diet. Due to the number attending I’m not going to mention any names……….except ONE……..I always enjoy seeing Joyce Sheirlow. The museum looked incredible & there is so much on display you can always discover something new! There was a nice lineup of members cars & George & Todd had the Model T depot hack out & it looked GREAT!!. It was a nice relaxing attitude where we had plenty of conversations getting caught up on our projects & life happenings. Many thanks to George & his family & we look forward to next year.
