One of Hinsdale's finest events is the Fourth of July Parade. It's not too fancy, some would even call it folksy for such an affluent area, but therein lies its charm. Families on the parade route line their parkways with blankets and chairs. The rest of us claim a downtown space and eagerly await the procession that begins with yellow and red fire engines from neighboring villages and ends with a horse-drawn stagecoach. The parade is open to everyone from politicians to little leaguers, marching bands to local non-profits. The result is pure Americana with a welcome dose of patriotism.
