Willimantic Boom Box Parade
Jillson Square Park, Willimantic, CT
![]()
Every Fourth of July, Willimantic residents carry boomboxes tuned to WILI 1400 AM down Main Street instead of marching behind a live band, a tradition that began in the 1980s during a dispute with the musicians' union. The parade lines up at Jillson Square Park and ends at Memorial Park. It has run every year since and is now in its fifth decade.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
