This Monday, October 10th, Southborough celebrates its big annual fall festival.
Heritage Day honors the town’s history, but is rooted in the present. The parade, booths, and activities bring together most of the Town’s community and youth organizations, plus many local businesses.
St. Mark’s field at the corner of Routes 85& 30 serves as the hub of activity.
From 10:00 am – 2:00 pm, the event includes free activities on the field, exhibitors selling wares, community organizations raising awareness and/or fundraising, food trucks and more.
The Knights of Columbus Soccer Shoot Out Challenge takes place from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm (click here for the details)
As I’ve shared in other posts, not all of the activity will be on the field. The big community parade that kicks off at 10:00 am will leave from St. Anne’s Church on Boston Road and proceed down Main Street.
The many marching groups including police, fire, and DPW vehicles, Town and state officials, veterans, scouts, the Trottier Middle School marching bands, youth sports groups, and community organizations/local businesses.
Across the street from the field in front of the Library, you can check out the Friends of the Southborough Library Book and Bake Sale (plus CDs, DVDs) from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm.
