12^th Annual Mayor of Roslindale Contest

The Roslindale Day Parade Committee is inviting candidates to run in the 12^th Annual “Mayor of Roslindale” campaign. This contest is held to raise money for the 35th Annual Roslindale Day Parade. Candidates solicit donations at $1.00 each, with each dollar counting as a vote. The winner of the contest will ride on the special Mayor of Roslindale float in the parade.

To be eligible, the candidate must be a current or past resident of Roslindale, or an owners or employee of a Roslindale business. This is a great way to generate positive publicity for your business and help support a longstanding community tradition at the same time!

The Parade Committee does not endorse any candidate in advance. The contest will end on Sunday, September 19^th, at which time the winner will be determined. Prospective candidates must first officially register with the Parade Committee. For more information, call 617-327-4886 or send an e-mail to roslindaleparade@aol.com.

The theme of this year’s parade is “Celebrating Our 35^th Anniversary”. Organizations or businesses wishing to participate in the parade on October 3rd can contact the Parade Committee for a registration form.

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!
