Reinforcing our commitment to Boston’s largest and most diverse neighborhood, Dorchester Bay City helped sponsor this year’s Dorchester Day Parade. The event traditionally takes place the first Sunday of every June, but it had to be canceled the past two years due to Covid-19.
The parade marks the day in 1630 when Puritans landed at what is now Columbia Point, founding Dorchester as one of the first settlements in Massachusetts Bay Colony, according to The Bay State Banner.
Catherine O’Neill, Community Consultant and Dorchester native, attended the parade on behalf of the DBC team. She says this year’s event was better than it was pre-pandemic.
“To me, Dorchester Day came back even stronger. ” said O’Neill. "We commend the parade's organizers, including committee chair Kelly Walsh for doing such a great job following a two-year hiatus.”
The parade is dedicated to bringing together local businesses, residents, among others. DBC’s contribution to helping put on this year’s event exemplifies our dedication and devotion to supporting the Dorchester community.
