The Upper Falls neighborhood is having a party to celebrate the re-opening of the Elliot Street Bridge. Everyone, of all ages, is welcome to be in the parade – on one of the floats, in the kazoo choir, carrying one of the giant puppets, wearing one of the giant heads, etc.

If you want to be in the parade, arrive no later than 10:45 to the mill parking lot at the Eliot Street Bridge over the Charles River … or just come and watch the parade. In any case, everyone is urged to bring something loud to bang on – a drum, a pan and a spoon, two metal trash can covers etc.

Giant puppets, giant heads, a real miniature horse, live chickens, an antique fire truck, Santa Claus, kazoo choir, accappella singers, marching band, refreshments – don’t miss it!

December 17th, 11 AM – 12 noon
