Hamden Presents 81st Annual Memorial Day Parade

From The Town of Hamden: The Town of Hamden will present its 81st annual Memorial Day Parade on May 29th, 2017 beginning at 10:00 a.m. at Hamden High School and continuing north along Dixwell Avenue to the Memorial Town Hall. The Parade will be reviewed on Dixwell Avenue near Evergreen Avenue. Following the parade there will be a wreath ceremony at the Veterans Memorial in front of Hamden Middle School. After the invocation, Mayor Curt Balzano Leng and the Parade Marshal will address those in attendance, and wreaths will be placed at the Memorial.

The Town of Hamden would be honored if current members of our Armed Forces would join us. If you would like to march, please call the Mayor’s Office at 287-7100.

The parade will serve as a tribute to the deeds of our veterans and a source of pride to our citizens.

We are always in need of convertibles to drive some of our Veterans. Many local organizations have registered to march in the parade. If your group is interested in participating, please contact Gail Vasil in the Mayor’s Office at (203) 287-7100 before May 22nd, 2017.
