Wayne Memorial Day Parade: How To Register Floats, Marchers

WAYNE, NJ — As spring has arrived, Wayne Township is preparing for the annual Memorial Day Parade. Any groups, organizations, or teams wanting to participate in the parade may sign up now, officials said.

Applications are due by Friday, May 10 — so there is still time to get organized.

The parade route is two miles in distance, starting at Ramapo Shopping Plaza at the intersection of Valley Road and Hamburg Turnpike, and ending at the Municipal Complex (Valley Road and Nellis Drive).

Lineup for the parade will begin at 9 a.m., and the parade starts at 10. Residents are encouraged to line Valley Road to celebrate.

Tossing items like candy, gum, and toys from a float or vehicle is not allowed, but someone may walk alongside the vehicle and hand out treats. An adult leader, aged 18 or older, must accompany all youth groups along the parade route.
