Brockton Christmas Holiday Parade and Celebrations 2015

admin

Sharing is caring!

The 29th annual Greater Brockton Holiday Parade will be held on Saturday November 28th.   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, 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.
