Yesterday marked Southborough’s 45th annual Heritage Day.
The morning was grey, cool, and included a passing mist/drizzle. But that didn’t keep a whole lot of people from showing up to cheer on residents and groups marching in the parade. Following the parade, there were the usual festivities on the St. Mark’s field and immediate vicinity.
I spent the day supporting The Friends of the Southborough Library’s Book and Bake Sale. That means, I never got a chance to take pictures. Fortunately, my husband and daughter did. Plus, a slew of pics were posted publicly to social media.
I’ve gathered up highlights to share. Plus, if you scroll down, you can find links to sources for more great photos.

You can find more pics by my family on the MySouthborough.com Facebook page.
Also on Facebook, some community groups and businesses shared their promotional efforts and participation. Click links for more pics by Southborough Rotary Club, the Native Plant Gardens of Southborough group, and SkyRise Children’s Theater.
One benefit of politicians using the day to campaign is that they tend to post lots of pics with constituents/potential supporters. Click the following links for more pics posted by staff/campaigns for Carolyn Dykema, Jamie Eldridge, Geoff Diehl, and Margaret Busse.
There were tweets from the parade and field, including ones by Southborough News, and Algonquin’s Athletic Council.
You can always count on local media to document the day. Check out pics by Southborough Wicked Local and the Community Advocate photojournalissts on their websites.
