3:30 pm
We are hard at work on logistics for our grand finale.
The celebratory parade (rain or shine) will begin at 3:30 pm from the High School to the Middle School. Residents can then gather on the Town Common for music and fun while waiting for our fabulous drone light show.
We will have more information and a registration form soon, but would like as many community groups and participants as possible. What does Stoneham at 300 mean for you?
If you are interested in participating, see the participants page for more info.
We are encouraging decorated bikes, pedestrian groups, floats, bands, street performers and more. Let us know your ideas.
Remember that a float doesn't have to look like the ones you see in the Rose Bowl (not that we would object to that!) but can be a people-powered push cart, a small hand wagon or trailer or even a boat trailer, with or without a float. We want to celebrate Stoneham and the groups that make our town a great place to live.
We are also seeking a number of volunteers to help with logistics, carry banners, dress up in costumes and help with publicity. A volunteer form and parade participant information will be posted soon.
In the meantime, you can use the contact form to reach us.
