The Needham Exchange Club is proud to bring you Needham’s 4th of July celebration from fireworks to parade and everything in between. It is our signature activity.

The celebration is planned, coordinated and carried out by the dedicated members of the Needham Exchange Club.

We receive the help of family and friends and business sponsors!
No town governmental funds are used – the entire 4th of July celebration is 100% funded by private donations.
We thank the people and businesses of Needham that have shown us through their generosity that they value this hometown tradition.

Be safe, have fun, and Happy Fourth of July!
