This year, the faire will begin with a parade in honor of the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. The route will begin at the stage set up at the intersection of Woburn and Lowell Streets. Members of the Reading Police Honor Guard, Irish American Police Officer’s Association Pipes and Drums, Westford Fire Regional Pipe Band, Reading Fire Department and Reading Memorial High School (RMHS) Color Guard and Marching Band will participate in the parade.
