Parade?

[darkprincess74.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'm thinking of some other time last year but I feel like there was a July 4th parade down Highland. Does anyone know if there's one this year? I haven't been able to find anything about it but I live close to highland and it would be great to know what streets are closed.

There was a huge parade down Highland Ave. on Memorial Day weekend. Is that what you're thinking of?

We don't have a July 4th parade. Just the big Memorial Day parade that is held every year that marches down Highland. Our other parade is the Little League parade. A bunch of Little leaguers and firetrucks. You must be thinking of the Memorial Day parade.

There's also a small parade from City Hall to the Prospect Hill Tower on January 1 each year.

I thought that was more of a March. Not really considered a parade.

I guess I don't see the distinction you're making.

The little league parade could be considered a March too.
There is a difference between a March and a Parade. You can see the difference very clearly when comparing these things with the parade on Memorial Day.

And let's not forget the Honkfest parade, which was pretty much the awesomest thing ever.

agreed. this is definitely the parade highlight of the year for me.

Isn't there a kick-off parade at ArtBeat?

Often, but not always. Somewhere I think I read that this year's ArtBeat will end with a parade, but I don't see any schedule information yet on the Somerville Arts Council website.
