Everyone loves a parade and this years Memorial Day Parade promises to be even better than the last! The New Rochelle Memorial Day Parade will work it’s way through our city to remind us of the sacrifice and service of our armed forces past and present. Join the city as we come together for this auspicious event. Line the sidewalks and cheer them on, then fall in behind the march and celebrate at Hudson Park. Meet and greet the troops (for many, it’s their first time in New York). Like the poster says, bands, floats, New Rochelle’s finest and bravest, Marines and Sailors in for Fleet Week, and the latest addition, a CH-46 Marine helicopter will be on display, courtesy of the Headquaters Marine Corp.,Division of Public Affairs, a very special USO show by the Liberty Bells, local bands, return of the 1 dollar menu, and much, much more. You don’t want to miss it!
The ceremony begins on Monday May 31st, on Memorial Plaza at 10:30 with the parade commencing about 11:00, down North Ave to Hudson Park. Look for the posters around town and show your support.
