Lawrence Township Announces 2021 Memorial Day Parade

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ — Lawrence Township will be holding a Memorial Day parade this year. Last year, the pandemic forced the township to cancel the event.

The parade is scheduled for May 29. The route will begin at the Lawrence Township High School parking lot, move to Princeton Pike, Darrah Lane, Birchwood Knoll, and Berwyn Place.

The township said they were “optimistic that this year's parade can safely take place following all CDC guidelines of social distancing and mask-wearing.”

Only those groups that can comply with CDC guidelines, should register to participate in the parade, the township said.

Staging starts at 9 a.m. at Lawrence Township High school and the parade begins at 10 a.m.

The Lawrence Township Patriotic Committee and Lawrence Township Recreation Department are also looking for veterans, current servicemen and women, non-profit community groups, marching bands, and vehicles (classic, antique, military), to join the parade.
