They were arrested as they took part in the march on the seafront and Snargate Street in Dover, protesting against illegal immigration.
David Shannon, 30, of Seaview Road, Gillingham, has since been charged with wilfully obstructing a highway.
Jordan Ellis, 28, of Second Avenue in Dursley, Gloucestershire, was charged with wilfully obstructing a highway and resisting a police officer in the execution of their duty.
Steven Tipple, 42, of Boswell Drive, Coventry, was charged with using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause fear of violence.
George Jenson, 31, of Amherst Drive, Orpington, was charged with assaulting an emergency worker and using threatening or abusive words or behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
Shannon, Ellis and Tipple have all been bailed to appear at Folkestone Magistrates Court on Wednesday, June 30.
Jenson appeared there yesterday (Monday, May 31) and was bailed to attend Margate Magistrates Court on Thursday, June 24.
