It’s parade time in Dale City again, bringing with it the largest Independence Day event in Virginia.
For Prince William County Board Supervisor John D. Jenkins, this will be his 42nd year participating in the annual Fourth of July tradition.
“Obviously this is the biggest Fourth of July event that we have in the state. When I left this morning, we already had 135 units that had already signed up,” said Jenkins, who represents Dale City on the county board.
The parade kicks off at 10 a.m. tomorrow, staring at the Boys and Girls Club on Dale Boulevard. The three-mile parade route takes marchers and floats down Dale Boulevard, eventually to the grand viewing area in front of the Comcast building.
Planners decided to hold the event on July 3rd this year, said Jenkins, as July 4th falls on a Sunday.
Hundreds line the parade route each year to see the many marching bands, business groups, civic associations, military personnel and politicians who all march in the parade.
The parade is scheduled to be broadcast on local cable TV, said Jenkins.
The parade marches down the two lanes of Dale Boulevard’s eastbound side.
The westbound side of the road is converted into two-way traffic under heavy police direction.
If you’re planning on driving through Dale City between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, parade organizers say it’s best to avoid using Dale Boulevard and use Prince William Parkway instead.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
