Sudbury Minutemen Eye Revolutionary Parade Return In 2022

SUDBURY, MA — After a pandemic hiatus, an annual celebration in Sudbury of the town's contribution to the Revolutionary War will likely return in 2022.

The Sudbury Companies of Minute and Militia have requested permission to march on Patriot's Day from the First Parish Church in Wayland through town all the way to the Concord Battleground site. The march honors the fight on April 19, 1775, between colonists and British troops at Lexington and Concord.

At the North Bridge site in Concord, over 300 Colonial troops confronted the British, driving them back to Boston.

Typically, up to 50 reenactors march in the Patriot's Day parade. The event ends with a flag ceremony at the Wayside Inn around lunchtime.

The Sudbury Companies were set to get approval for the Patriot's Day parade at the Sudbury Select Board on Tuesday night.
