A message New Britain Township:  “In an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our residents and neighbors, New Britain Township announces with regret that the Annual Tri-Municipal 4th of July Parade (New Britain Township, Chalfont, and New Britain Borough) has been cancelled for 2020.  Given the ongoing restrictions for public gatherings, it is safer to cancel the Parade considering the current pandemic.  Stay safe, and we will celebrate next year!”
