The Village of Cedarhurst-sponsored Memorial Day Parade will step off at 10:45 a.m. on Central Avenue and end with a service to remember the men and women who served the U.S.
“Last year's parade was a terrific success, between the huge number of parade participants and the phenomenal amount of attendees, it was a true inspiration to us all,” said Mayor Andrew Parise. “To see so many people, young and old, from every walk of life, to come together to show support for our veterans — was truly monumental."
Participating in this year’s parade are Five Towns fire departments, the Lawrence High School Band and Color Guard, the New York Police Department Band and various local organizations.
The parade starts at the Lawrence-Cedarhurst Firehouse at the corner of Central Avenue and Washington Avenue and end in the Andrew J. Parise Park on Cedarhurst Avenue, where a service will be held to remember our "fallen comrades."
Refreshments will be served following the conclusion of the service.
“So, please, before heading to the beach or BBQ, please come and join us in honoring our veterans, living and deceased, in an event that will prove to be a meaningful and enjoyable experience,” reads a Cedarhurst release.
If you are a veteran, or know of a veteran, in the Lawrence-Cedarhurst area that would like to participate, as well as any organization that will like to take part in this memorable event, please contact Mayor Parise or Jo Marie Capone at the Village Of Cedarhurst, 516-295-5770.
