All Vets Club plans Fourth of July barbecue in Jamestown
After the Kiddie Parade, the All Vets Club will turn its 1st Street East hall into a July 4 stop for burgers, bingo and flag ceremonies in downtown Jamestown.
The All Vets Club will put its 1st Street East hall at the center of Jamestown’s Fourth of July traffic, serving grilled burgers, hot dogs, chips and pop after the downtown Kiddie Parade. The barbecue will add a veteran-centered gathering place to a holiday schedule built around family activity, public ceremony and downtown foot traffic.
The Great American Fourth of July Kiddies Bike Parade is set for Saturday, July 4, with lineup beginning at 9:30 a.m. near Babb’s Coffee House at 1st Street East and the parade starting at 10 a.m. on First Avenue. The Jamestown Downtown Association is sponsoring the parade with the Sertoma Club, Dairy Queen and the All Vets Club, tying the barbecue directly to the downtown celebration that brings families into the center of town.
At 116 1st Street East, the All Vets Club is offering more than food. The schedule includes the Zonta Park flagpole dedication, kids cornhole games with 150 silver dollar giveaways donated by FCCU, drawings for 10 All Vets Club gift certificates, free flags, music and other activities. Bingo is set to start at noon, giving families another reason to stay downtown after the parade.
The club’s public role in Jamestown reaches well beyond a single holiday event. The Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce identifies the All Vets Club as a 501(c)(19) nonprofit that provides meeting and social facilities for area veterans, their families, the North Dakota National Guard and the community. The club also says it is open to the public, making the July 4 barbecue both a community meal and a reminder that the building functions as a civic space, not just a private veterans’ hall.
That visibility matters in a year when Jamestown’s holiday calendar is linked to America 250, the national semiquincentennial commemoration. North Dakota’s ND250 program says July 4, 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. In that setting, the barbecue places the All Vets Club inside a larger local observance while keeping the event grounded in simple, practical details: a downtown parade, a meal, games for children and a place for people to gather after the flags go up.
