Clark's Annual Memorial Day Parade To Return For 2021

CLARK, NJ — Clark's Annual Memorial Day Parade will return this year on Monday, May 31 following last year's cancelation due to the pandemic.

As a result of the previous closure, the Clark Recreation Department really wants to make this year's event "BIG!" said Ralph Bernardo, the new chairman to the parade committee.

Residents are encouraged to stand along the parade route to show their support for the men and women who died while servicing their country.

At the end of the parade route at Arthur L. Johnson High School, a short service will be held to honor Clark’s Fallen Heroes.

"With so much uncertainty and unrest on foreign ground today, with a nation so divided politically, we need to come together as a country and a township and honor our lost, support our troops, especially that so many young Clark residents are in the military," said Bernardo.

Residents are also invited to march in the parade. To guarantee a place in the parade, complete the registration form and return it to the committee as soon as possible.
