The annual Bunker Hill Parade commemorating the 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill took place this past weekend in Charlestown.
Despite the dreary weather, residents, elected officials, veterans, and service men and women came out in droves to celebrate this annual tradition dating back to the first Bunker Hill Parade in 1786. See photos from the event in the album below, courtesy of photographer Gerri Palladino.
