SOUTHBOROUGH – Fourth of July celebrations began early in Southborough.
On June 29, local kids participated in the Southborough Library’s Fourth of July Parade, which is sponsored by the Friends of the Southborough Library.
Kicking off at the library, the participants, who were donned in patriotic accessories, waved American flags as they marched through the Town House.
Participant Caitlin Wood and her family have been participating in the Southborough parade for years.
“We love the library. So, we try to get to all of the events,” said Wood. “We love Miss [Kim Ivers].”
Meanwhile, her son, Cameron, 7, enjoys playing with the items provided for the parade by the library.
Indeed, Cameron and the other children rang bells, noisemakers and rattles as they made their march, accompanied by patriotic music that library staff played on CD recorders.
After a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the parade resumed last year.
