Could be cool if organized as a formal event, a parade, of sorts.

Edit: can someone explain the vitriol against this train of thought? Genuine question.

Organized as a formal event lol cmon. Yea so the town can deny the permit or make sure it happens only in some cordoned off area and is limited to 10 people. We live in MA after all.

Plus kids do things like this cause it’s mildly rebellious. There’s nothing mildly rebellious about getting a permit with the city lol.

I'm saying it's disruptive and dangerous when it isn't an official parade. Not that they should do that or that it would make sense. It might be exciting and rebellious, but it isn't safe.

I will say, if a bunch of kids do it legally, it stops being a weird unique thing that rebellious kids wanna do. That part might help discourage them.
