The Chamber feels a strong sense of loyalty to the local community and sponsors local events, as well as participating in
the projects of other organizations. Since 1974 the Chamber has sponsored the annual Independence Day Parade. The
Fire Department, businesses, communities, politicians, and residents participate in full force to produce floats and
decorated cars for the parade. Benfield and Evergreen Roads, as well as Severna Park Village are lined with viewers.
Children on decorated bicycles join the parade at Holly Avenue and prizes are awarded for the bicycles decorated most
beautiful, most original and most patriotic. A Festival follows the parade and in 2006 the Festival returned to its original
location, Cypress Creek Park.
The Greater Severna Park Chamber of Commerce is committed to the Support and Promotion of Greater Severna Park
Business in Harmony with the Community. For information about membership or a copy of our annual Business and
Community Guide call 410-647-3900.
