The  Memorial Day Parade will be held on Monday at 10 AM. Assembly of parade units will take place at 9:30 AM in designated areas west of Woodrow Street on Farmington Avenue. The parade ends at Town Hall and lasts for about one hour.

West Hartford takes great pride in hosting its annual Memorial Day Parade held annually on the federal holiday, last Monday of May at 10 AM (NO RAIN DATE). It follows a tradition established by returning West Hartford veterans from World War I in the 1920s.

All veterans are welcome to march in the parade. Community organizations may participate in the parade, especially those with a veteran or military focus or purpose.  Please note that the Memorial Day Parade is not a platform for commercial advertising or political statements.

Memorial Day is about remembering those who have served our country and those who died while preserving our freedom.
