Anyone can march or enter a float in "Connecticut's Unique People's Parade," as the Boom Box Parade is known. The only requirement is to wear some red, white, and blue, and bring a radio tuned to WILI (1400-AM). The Parade Marshall is Wayne Norman, radio personality.

American flags are optional, but encouraged. There is no "official" theme for the parade, so just go and have fun! Formation for the parade starts at Jillson Square on Main Street around 9:00 on July 4th. No pre-registration is necessary. The parade runs seven tenths of a mile west on Main Street to Memorial Park.
