Trenton Road was once again home to the annual Middletown Fourth of July parade as hundreds of residents lined the one and a half mile stretch of road between the start and end points of the parade.
The route runs right along a number of Levittown sections, making it the perfect route for people to come out and enjoy the community, the weather and patriotic festivities.

Bill and Jamie Dowis live in Highland Park and came out for the third year to watch the parade with their kids. Jamie Dowis , who is a veteran, explained that the day means a lot to her because she is very patriotic.
“The whole parade is just awesome,” Jamie Dowis said. Her husband Bill Dowis joked that their kids’ favorite part was the candy thrown by marchers.
Tom and Darlene Graham came over to Trenton Road from Red Rose Gate and while they have been there for years, they have just never made it out to the parade before. They held their Fourth of July picnic on Sunday so they were able to come out and enjoy the festivities.
