Memorial Day Parade 2018

Last year’s ceremony in Wurster Park.

The Memorial Day this year is Monday, May 28th. 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.

Participants should meet at the Legion parking lot at 10:30am to line up. Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts participating should meet near the Dairy Queen.

After the parade at 12:30pm, veterans, 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.
