City of Whittier Cancels 4th of July Freedom Walk

Whittier, CA — The City of Whittier has announced the cancellation of this year’s 4th of July Freedom Walk, originally scheduled for the morning of Friday, July 4, 2025, at Palm Park.

“While celebrating our nation’s founding is very important to me and to Whittier residents, my colleagues and I also want to be sensitive to the recent feedback we’ve received from some community members asking that we pause this year’s Freedom Walk event,” said Mayor Joe Vinatieri.

The evening 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular at York Field will continue as scheduled. The City remains committed to providing opportunities for families and neighbors to come together to celebrate Independence Day.
