The Skippack Village 4th of July Parade on Thursday morning had everything – giant beach balls, Mummers, loud motorcycles waving American flags, historic biplanes flying overhead, dancers, Ariel the Little Mermaid, and a pack of penny-farthing pedallers.

The annual tradition, sponsored this year by Patrick J. Kelly Insurance Group, featured a wild parade with a variety of vehicles and walkers at 11 a.m. A BBQ at Parc Bistro followed at 3 p.m.

Fireworks ended the festivities at dusk at Palmer Park, next to Skippack Elementary School.
