2018 Stoughton Independence Day Festival/Parade Information

STOUGHTON, MA — There may be no fireworks to celebrate the 4th of July in Stoughton this year, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a party to be had.

Due to the construction of the new Stoughton High School, this year's Independence Day festivities will take place at the police station on Rose Street on July 3 from 4 to 8 p.m. The event will include live music, free food, raffles, games, a car/motorcycle show, and more.

The following day will be the annual Stoughton 4th of July Parade, which will follow the carriage/bike stroll in Stoughton Center at 9:50 a.m. The parade will start at the intersection of Park and Prospect streets at 10 a.m. and will march through Stoughton Center, down Washington Street, and end on Philips Avenue.

Mark Snyder of Stoughton News and the Stoughton Journal will once again be the master of ceremonies.
