Photos from the community: Memorial Day in Billerica Wicked Local As the rain that had drenched Memorial Day weekend started to ease the morning of Monday, May 31, Billerica residents and officials alike breathed a sigh of relief as they prepared to step off and take part in the first, unmasked, in-person community parade of the year. Billerica Veterans Director Joe Ruggiero said while the remembrance events scheduled in the days prior to Memorial Day were wet and wild, the turnout was large when it came to community volunteers. He said it was a great way to jump back into town events after a year on pause due to the pandemic.
