Get ready for floats, marching bands, banners, classic cars and even people on bikes--all heading through Brookline on Sunday.

Brookline's big Flag Day festivities take place on Sunday, and the parade will likely cut off parts of Brookline for much of the day, but first the road race will course through Brookline. It all ends in a carnival at the High School.
