Town Pride

Wilmington, MA is located about 20 minutes north of Boston, MA.  It is a small, very patriotic town.  Sports are a big part of the town and with that follows a lot of town pride.  Soccer is the biggest sport in Wilmington and pretty much every kid in Wilmington played soccer when they were little.  High School football is also very popular and the home games are on Friday nights and many town residents go and so does the high school band.  The town common also has a memorial dedicated to the men and women who have served in wars.

 

The biggest event in the town is on the 4th of July.  Every year there is a 4th of July festival on the town common with live music, food and fireworks.  There is also a carnival every year and it used to be next to the high school, but since a new high school was recently built they moved it to the shriners a couple miles away from the high school.

Another big event in town is the memorial day parade which takes place every year.  Many people participate including veterans, Wilmington sports, shriners, police and fire department, and many other groups and organizations.
