Parade History
In 1952, Mayor, Romeo J. Gadbois instituted the first annual Marlborough Labor Day Parade as a way to brighten the lives of those in the Marlborough communities. The nation, including the Marlborough community, was recovering from WWII and bracing for the effects of the Korean War.

The first parade, managed by Louis Ghiloni, the city’s first Recreation Director, consisted of 12 marching units. In the 66 years that have followed, the parade has grown to be a premier city event with an impressive variety of bands, floats, and entertainers.

The success of the parade is due in large part to community support. The majority of the cost is covered by donations from private, commercial, corporate, and individual community members.

The parade is a collaborative effort and provides the City of Marlborough with a platform to showcase all that it offers and the city’s shared community pride.
