Fourth of July In Northborough: What's Open, Closed; Trash Pickup

NORTHBOROUGH, MA — The Fourth of July is a time to celebrate the nation with barbecues, parades and of course, a day off from work. That day off includes many local and state government offices, so if you had errands to run at town hall before the festivities, you might want to reschedule.

While most government offices are closed, it offers more time for residents and employees to enjoy the festivities in town. There are plenty of parades and events happening around Northborough to spend the day right.
