There was some hint on the The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (Enhanced Edition) eBook that there are some rare videos too, so I hoped that there is at least one with Boba Fett... Here is a summary of this release:
Thanks to Locitus for pointing me to this facebook account which has this video (taken from the eBook) ==> Silent video from pre-Empire release

Because the facebook link was removed, here is a YouTube link for the same video ==> Silent footage of Boba Fett's FIRST EVER public appearance
---------------------------
What we can see in that video is the first public appearance of Boba Fett (in the Pre-Pro #1 suit), more exactly from September 24, 1978 at the San Anselmo Country Fair parade.
Some interesting facts just by looking at the video:
1 - The jetpack is still working, and when I say still, I'm talking about the Supertrooper jetpack that was converted to the Pre-Pro #1/Pre-Pro #3 jetpack:
2 - The hose connector (the one attached to the right gauntlet) looks like an unpainted Supertrooper connector, while the hose is in the loose position, more exactly it is not inserted through the jumpsuit sleeve:
3 - The wookie braids are on the wrong side - the left shoulder:
4 - The left gauntlet is still hold in place/closed with black duct tape:
Thoughts?

According to the aforementioned book, Duwayne Dunham was in the Boba Fett suit; he was also the one who wore the Supertrooper suit at Park House:
