Some Boston traditions are old. This one dates back to 1786. The Battle of Bunker Hill Parade (bunkerhilldayparade) returns to Charlestown on Sunday, June 14, continuing one of the country’s longest-running annual traditions. The event commemorates the Battle of Bunker Hill, military service, and the history that shaped both Boston and the country. This year’s event helps celebrate Massachusetts 250, a statewide effort recognizing Massachusetts’ role in the American Revolution as the country approaches its 250th anniversary. The parade begins at 12:30 p.m. and travels through Charlestown, including Monument Avenue and Monument Square. It’s one of the oldest parades in the entire country, with thousands of attendees lining the streets of Charlestown annually, so you know it’s worth checking out. #mustdoboston #ma250 #massachusetts250 #bunkerhillparade
