Hopkinton Massachusetts - Fourth of July Celebrations
Hopkinton residents have a choice of festivities this weekend to celebrate our nation's independence.
The Lake Maspenock Boat Parade
This Sunday there is the Fourth Annual Lake Maspenock Fourth of July Boat Parade which is being sponsored by the Lake Maspenock Preservation Association.
Beginning at 2:00 p.m. boats will be lining up in front of Sandy Beach at the lake. All types of boats will be welcomed at this event including motor boats, kayaks and canoes.
Join everyone for a spirited celebration on beautiful Lake Maspenock.
The Annual Horribles Parade
On Sunday afternoon Hopkinton will also present its annual "Horribles" Parade. This event is held each year on the Fourth of July - It is a tradition that began several years ago and includes equestrians, horse-drawn carriages, fire trucks with sirens blaring as well as distinctive floats.
Local residents get together, design and decorate these floats that actually poke fun at small town politics.
Last years' parade theme was "going green" - this year it is "fix it."
The parade starts at the Town Common, then proceeds onto Hayden Rowe, with a right onto Grove Street, a left onto Pleasant Street, a right onto Main Street and back to the Town Common where it all ends in a festive award presentation.
Be sure to come to the Fourth of July events that are planned for the Metrowest area this weekend.
The fun all begins at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.
