The 2025 edition of Claremont’s July Fourth festivities felt a lot like old times, with the morning kicking off with the 5K race and Kiwanis pancake breakfast, followed by cool water games and live music at Memorial Park. It was an absolutely beautiful day and not quite summer hot when the holiday parade made its way down Indian Hill Boulevard. There’s more on the schedule later today, as a Free America protest is planned for the afternoon, with fireworks set for 9 p.m. tonight. Check out the sights from today.More photos to come from tonight’s activities.
