What to know
Our experience
Up in Chestnut Hill, the Bocce Club has thrown this Fourth of July parade for generations, and it is about as easy as a holiday morning gets. It kicks off at 9 AM with a kids' bike parade at Hartwell Lane and Ardleigh Street, then rolls to the Water Tower Rec Center for games, races, live entertainment, and free food. It is a more local, low-key experience than the big downtown parades: no tickets, just decorate the bikes and scooters and show up. Do the decorating the night before and you are set.
