Waltham's 135th Anniversary Parade: What To Know

WALTHAM, MA — Sunday is the big day. On Sept. 22, Waltham marks its 135th anniversary as a city with a parade and block party. Look for an antique car show at the former South Junior High School, live music, food from Waltham restaurants including Shopper's Cafe, a beer and wine tasting from Gordon's Liquors and children's activities in the parking lot of Brasco & Sons funeral home. We've got the where and when for you:

Time and route:

The parade steps off at 11 a.m. from 50 Linden St and will head west on Main Street and then south on Moody street. There will be a block party immediately following at the upper end of Moody Street. The block party will be on from noon til 4 p.m.

Road closures and no parking zones:

Watch for the “No Parking” signs posted the length of Moody Street from High Street to upper Crescent Street.

Adjoining side streets coming on and off Moody Street from High to upper Crescent will be blocked at Moody Street.

They will also be blocked at the next adjoining intersection west and east of Moody Street, along Adams, Street and Beech streets.

Watch for detours along Alder, Myrtle, Ash, Brown and Robbins streets, as well as on Wadsworth Avenue, Orange Street, Washington Avenue, Chester Avenue and Dexter Street.
