Swampscott Police Union Holiday Parade To Collect Toys For Local Children

SWAMPSCOTT, MA — The annual Swampscott Police Association Holiday Parade returns this December with a complementary goal of collecting donations for Toys for Local Children.

The parade is set for Dec. 12 at 5:30 p.m., in the spirit of Christmas, New Year's, Hanukkah, and other seasonal celebrations.

The parade route starts at Swampscott HIgh School and proceeds to Essex, to Burrill, to Paradise, to Vinnin, to Salem Street, to Humphrey Street, ending at Town Hall.

There will be a music and family event on the Town Hall lawn immediately following the parade.

Swampscott Police Association this year has collaborated with Toys for Local Children, with a donation box in the lobby of the police department. Toys will also be collected along the parade route by Swampscott officers.

Organizations looking to participate can contact Officers Candace Doyle, Mike Chandler, Mike Kenyon or John Hogan at 781-595-1111 or mchandler@police.com.
