Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 17 for Newton’s 250th Anniversary Salute to Service Parade.
The parade will begin at 3PM at City Hall, travel down Walnut Street through Newtonville, turn right onto Washington Street, then left onto Adams Street, and conclude at Coletti-Magni Park in Nonantum.
The parade will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and feature additional floats, performances, and new traditions.
The city is looking for community groups and teams ready to bring music, movement, color, and fun to the streets in Newton. Specifically:
Dance troupes
Youth and adult sports teams
Drumlines, bands, and music performers
Cheer squads and spirit teams
Costumed characters and mascots
Cultural groups and community organizations
…and anyone with a creative idea to help make the parade unforgettable!
If your group can march, perform, dance, play, cheer, or entertain, the city wants you to be part of this year’s walking and rolling 2-mile celebration. All entries should feature a patriotic theme in keeping with the spirit of the event as we come together to honor and celebrate our veterans.
Email [email protected] with your ideas and to learn how your group can join the parade lineup!
The City will continue its tradition of honoring those who gave their lives in service to our country with Memorial Day observances on Sunday, May 24 and Monday, May 25.
