Day 944 2014 Annual Brockton Christmas Holiday Parade and Celebrations
The 28th annual Greater Brockton Holiday Parade will be held on Saturday November 29th.  Besides the parade there is a whole weekend  of family friendly events to kick off the holiday season.  Brockton is re-branding  themselves as the USA Christmas Town.  Brockton is where the spirit of a community is inspired by the selfless actions of one man, almost 125 years ago. We all want to believe that our efforts will have a lasting legacy – that we can indeed “change the world†– but very few of us will ever know for certain the impact our lives will have on the world around us. Such is true of James Edgar, a humble but generous businessman who was in the business of caring.
USA Christmas Town Kickoff Weekend on Friday November 28th with the Santa Hat Challenge & Tree Lighting Ceremony 6pm  This year will be the 6th Santa Hat challenge combined  with the tree lighting on the downtown Legion parkway.  The BHS Brockapella Chorus and The Massasoit Chorus will be performing for entertainment. At 7pm the official  Santa Hat  photo will take place.
