After a summer that felt inundated with rainy weekends, residents of Boston’s Roslindale neighborhood were no doubt relieved to find sunny skies and warm temps greeting the annual Roslindale Day Parade.

Renamed the Thomas M. Donahue Roslindale Day Parade in 2021, after the longtime parade committee president who passed away that year, Sunday’s was the 48th edition of the venerable event.
