Manchester's Memorial Day Parade

Previous year's Memorial Day parade - ceremony in Wurster Park.

The Memorial Day this year is Monday, May 29th. Manchester's Memorial Day parade will begin at 11am this year. As always, the parade is a solemn event that will begin with a ceremony on the Main Street Bridge, proceed west through town stopping at the memorial in Wurster Park for a second ceremony, and ending with a ceremony in Oak Grove cemetery.

After the parade, veterans and families of veterans and the public are invited to the Legacy Events Center (formerly the American Legion Hall) on Duncan Street for a potluck. Bring a dish to pass, your own table service and drink.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
