Nassau County has announced its 2020 July 4 parade will take place at the Old Bethpage Village Restoration.
The parade is open to those who pre-purchase one of a limited number of e-tickets online that will reserve a socially distant parking space. The ticket will enable families to watch a parade of vintage military vehicles from the collection of the Museum of American Armor.
The gates to Old Bethpage Village Restoration will open to advance ticket holders at 9:30 a.m. on July 4, and all cars must be parked by 10:15 a.m.
Various historic vehicles will drive in convoy while masked living historians from the Long Island Living History Association pass in review.
Organizers say cars will be admitted on a first come – first served basis, and tickets are $25 and can be purchased online at
www.OBVRnassau.com.
Families will be required to stay with their vehicles, masked, and separated from other vehicles by a designated number of feet as directed by park safety personnel.
Due to the pandemic, the Museum of American Armor remains closed, along with other museums across the New York metro area, but will be prepared to open its doors with new exhibits, armor assets and displays, maintaining strict adherence to CDC protocols, when permission is granted by state and county officials.
