Fourth of July update

For the second year in a row, the Board of Directors of the Friends of the 4th has canceled the traditional Natick Fourth of July parade. A message that appeared last month on the nonprofit’s website said, “There are many factors that led to our decision including the uncertain timeline for the vaccinations, return to larger gatherings, the safety of our parade participants and attendees, and the financial obligations involved in putting on a traditional parade.”

Friends of the Fourth has made alternative plans for the holiday weekend which include a “Go 4th and Explore Natick” initiative. 4th of July festivities will include a city-wide scavenger hunt that will take participants deep into Natick’s history. A  patriotic house-decorating contest is also on tap July 1 – 5, with prizes for the top four winners. More details to come.

​Local downtown businesses will also likely get into the act by decorating their storefronts.

“As you know, we are a non-profit that depends solely on donations and sponsorships and we believe that it would be irresponsible for us to ask for both during these difficult financial times,” organizers said on the Friends website. “We ask if you are able, please donate to the Natick Service Council to help those in our community who need assistance.”
