The <a href="https://www.sudbury.org/4th-of-july-parade" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Sudbury Fourth of July Parade</a> is a long-standing tradition in the town of Sudbury. Dating back to at least 1939, the first Fourth of July Parade kicked off. As you can imagine, this parade looked a little different, being led by horses &amp; buggies, minutemen, militia, and bugles &amp; drums. This marked the start of the incredible tradition that we look forward to year after year. In the late 80s, the parade changed hands from The Town of Sudbury to The Sudbury Chamber of Commerce.
