ARLINGTON, MA—Residents lined Massachusetts Ave. Sunday for the Arlington Patriots' Day Parade, which made its return after a one-year absence.
The parade featured many of the area's most prominent groups, including the Arlington Police and Fire Departments, town officials, local sports teams and more. The town used the social media tag #ArlPats2016 to promote the event.
Here's some of the parade chatter on social media.
