Have a great 300th!
The Parade committee planned an exciting parade involving over 100 floats, bands, military units, and more! Littleton Police and Fire, and many other groups worked hard alongside our committee to plan a blockbuster parade!
The community to SIGNED UP and got involved!
We thank everyone who participated in the Town Parade! With your help, everything went smoothly! Volunteers (high school and adult) worked at the staging area, carried banners in the parade itself, and worked along the route and at the end of the parade.
For many Littleton students, volunteering for the parade counted toward community service hours for school!
It was also time for our citizens to show their Littleton pride. Homes and businesses along the route were part of the show, because parade participants and spectators from all over New England and the USA visited our town. It was a great excuse to spruce up our yards and roadsides and make sure that sidewalks were clear and free of overgrowth and poison ivy. Littletonians decked out their homes and businesses in red, white and blue for the Parade Weekend!
The parade route (King Street from St Anne’s to IBM) was closed from 9:30 a.m. until half an hour after the parade ended. The route was accessible to foot traffic only during that time. It was Littleton’s biggest parade yet!
