Furthermore, Boxborough is known for its annual Fifer’s day celebration. The day commemorates Luther Blanchard, the fifer who marched the local minuteman company to the Battle of Concord on April 19, 1775. At the North Bridge minutemen companies from various towns of the Commonwealth successfully engaged the British, forcing the redcoats to retreat. During this action Blanchard was fatally wounded, becoming one of the first battle casualties of the Revolutionary War.
Fifer’s day is held every June at Flerra field in Boxborough. It begins with a 4-mile (6.4 km) road race, followed by a parade and many different festivities. Booths with hamburgers, hot dogs, snow cones etc. line the field and games, bands and volleyball tournaments complete the afternoon. Fifer’s day has pony rides, air balloon rides, a flea market and much more.
