Columbus Day Parade (Revere)

The significance of Columbus Day in Revere is rooted in the city's tradition as a destination for newcomers to our shores. Many Italian, Irish, and Middle European immigrants settled here, and the parade celebrates their spirit of adventure, optimism, and courage in pursuit of a new life in a new world.
