Make Way for the Grand Parade
Clocking in at under an hour, the Grand Parade was chock full of bands, floats, costumed marchers and more.
It was tough to keep pace with all the participants who made their way along the parade route. Fortunately, it was a gathering of familiar faces that made their way past the reviewing stand on Highland Avenue. Needham Channel’s hosts, Mike Riley and Colleen Lavery take you through the event and chat with some of the honored guests who led the parade.
