About 5000 residents call it home.

 

Boxborough's Fifer's Festival in June and the annual Grange Fair in September bring excitement. Each year a "Golden Fife" award is presented to a Boxborough resident who has contributed meaningful service to the town. Boxborough's large Minuteman re-enactors contingent, march in parades and participate in the annual Patriot's Day events in Concord. They, and the active historical society together preserve local history. There is a high volunteer presence in government and committees.
