Day 944 2014 Annual Brockton Christmas Holiday Parade and Celebrations

Sharing is caring!

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.
