The title suggests a Lexington Day parade, a commemoration of the April 19, 1775, fighting at Lexington and Concord that began the American Revolution, though the record does not confirm the date or place. The glass negative comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency run by George Grantham Bain that supplied newspapers with news pictures in the early twentieth century. Its photographers recorded street events and public ceremonies, so the scene likely shows a civic procession drawing city crowds. Since the title comes from unverified notes, the event details should be read as provisional.
