The Roslindale Day Parade occurs on the first or second Sunday of October every year and has been a neighborhood tradition for over thirty years.

The annual event, which showcases the diversity and beauty of our neighborhood and its residents, is funded in part by grants from the City of Boston's office of Arts, Tourism ,and Special Events, as well as through the financial contributions of the local business community and the fundraising efforts of the non-profit Roslindale Day Parade Committee.

The Advertising Float, decorated with the names of local parade sponsors. Local businesses are one of the primary sources of funding for the parade, so please patronize these establishments!
