Holliston Readies for Annual Town-Wide Parade

Each September, Celebrate Holliston hosts a variety of fun activities for residents, businesses, and local organizations including a town-wide parade. All are welcome to march in the parade including everything from old cars, cheer leaders, and bands to neighborhood floats, business floats, mascots, and much more.

The 2014 parade will include some returning favorites as well as some new additions. Scheduled participants include: Ronald McDonald, the Perkins Belgian Horses consisting of a team of 6 lead by a huge parade wagon, the handsome Lancers, the Governor’s Horses lead by our own Tobin men as well as a local Holliston group of horses, a Holliston High School group under the direction of Laura Bilodeau, political parties, scouts, many town businesses, and local celebrities.

The 2014 Citizen of the Year recipients will celebrated along the route. Ribbons and prizes will be presented to the kids and to the Most Spirited Float.

Pre-registration is recommended but not required. All participants should arrive at Sam Placentino Elementary School parking lot on September 20, 2014 between 8-8:30 a.m. The parade begins at 9 a.m. sharp. The route is short and simple, beginning at Woodland Street to Railroad Street, turning right on Central up to Washington Street, left at the Square onto Washington and then right on Green Street for marchers on foot or left on to Exchange Street for vehicles.
