MERRYMOUNT FREEDOM CELEBRATION VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

The Merrymount Association is calling all volunteers for our biggest events of the year! On Saturday July 2, we'll have the Freedom Run at 9AM, the Junior Olympics at 10AM (after the run ends), and the Beach Celebration at 5PM.

The Freedom Celebration is the highlight of the summer for the neighborhood. The Association Board spends countless hours planning and running these events, but we NEED volunteers to make the day and night a success for all. We get it - everyone is busy, everyone has their own kids, etc., but these events won't continue if the neighborhood doesn't step up to help!

Junior Olympics

We are trying to gauge the interest level for the Junior Olympics this year. In years past, attendance was low, but we are hoping that the change in dates will get the numbers up!

​The Junior Olympics will be on Saturday, July 2 at 10:00am. The event is for Merrymount Association families and will be geared towards preschool and elementary school aged kids.

Please take our brief survey by clicking HERE


The Merrymount Association is excited to announce the return of the Junior Olympics which will be held on Saturday July 2nd after the Freedom Run (approx. 10am) at Merrymount Beach.

We need volunteers to help run this event. Please reach out to merrymountquincyboard@gmail.com or talk to
Taylor and Meaghan Sturtevant to step-up to help!

We envision a mix of fun and traditional summer games with prizes to help get everyone ready for the Bike Parade and Freedom Celebration that night. Kids must be supervised at the Beach for the event.

​July 4 Parade

Float registration is now open for our annual July 4th neighborhood parade with this year's theme as "Summertime and the Livin' is Easy in Merrymount". Please signup at the following link - https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090d4caaaa2ca0fd0-july2

We're asking for name, email address, and home address so we can drop off a check for $100 to help with costs for the float/costumes/props, adult beverages, etc.

Let's celebrate all we love about summers in Merrymount - the Beach, BBQs with neighbors, Association events, Flag Day, July 4th, Boating, etc.!

We want to stress how informal the parade is - you do not need a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade float to enter - a car, boat, bikes, strollers, wagons, your own two feet, etc. are all encouraged! Multiple streets can join together to enter a "float." Please talk to your neighbors about entering and let us know if you know of any other youth groups or organizations that might also want to participate.

Setup for the parade begins at 12PM at Merrymount Elementary School and the Parade steps off at 12:30 (half hour earlier!!) and concludes at Merrymount Beach by 1:30 (there will be no ceremony at the Beach this year afterwards).

The parade route is as follows - Merrymount School on Agawam Rd., to Narragansett Rd., to Chickatabot Rd., to Norton Rd., to Sea St., to Samoset Rd. to Longwood Rd., to Moreland Rd., to Waban Rd., to Maypole Rd., to Squanto Rd., to Victoria Rd., and finally to Merrymount Beach.

If you live on this route - please do not park your car on the street during the parade!

Please talk to neighbors and get signed up soon!
