Enfield’s annual Independence Day parade will celebrate veterans
| BY SUSAN SHULTZ
It’s been an Enfield tradition for nearly four decades, largely due to the efforts of the volunteers behind the nonprofit that runs it This year the parade’s theme is “Saluting Our Veterans, Heroes At Home.”
The parade begins on Saturday, July 6, at 11 a.m., and travels two-anda-half miles on Enfield Street (Route 5) from South Road to the Town Green, according to parade chairman Greg Stokes. As with every year, the parade will include civic groups, nonprofits, elected officials, police explorers, event sponsors, local businesses, the Windsor Fife and Drum Corp, Shriners Trikes, and fire trucks
This year’s Grand Marshall is Enfield’s Ernest Maynard, 100, who served the country during World War II and the Korean War. After his military service came to an end, Maynard
returned home and spent 30 years serving as a volunteer firefighter in the community. His entire life has been dedicated to service.
The parade should take just under two hours, giving spectators plenty of time to enjoy all the other fun that the town’s Fourth of July fest has to offer on Saturday.
In addition to first come, first serve street parking, parking is available at the Enfield Square Mall area outside the former Sears Department store. Shuttle busses will be running from that location to the Town Green. Additional parking will be located behind Enfield Town Hall (820 Enfield St.) on Saturday. Spectators are asked not to bring coolers, pets, bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, or their own fireworks; lawn chairs and blankets are encouraged. For a full schedule of events, visit enfieldcelebration.org.
