Foxborough Coronavirus: Founders Day Canceled
Foxborough Founder's Day, a tradition in town going for more than 30 years, was canceled due to the new coronavirus.
FOXBOROUGH, MA — Foxborough Founders Day, the town's largest summer celebration, has been canceled.
The town's biggest community party started as a small gathering on the town common 32 years ago, and has grown into a celebration with a parade, field day, fireworks and more. It was originally scheduled for June 13, but was canceled because of the new coronavirus pandemic.
"Like many of you, the Founders Day Committee has been closely monitoring the current state of affairs involving the COVID-19 Coronavirus," the committee said in a statement. "We are committed to the health and safety of our community and will follow the lead of the governor regarding social distancing and stay-at-home guidelines ... "Bringing together our amazing community is our joy and passion, and we’re looking forward to hosting next year’s event."
