This year’s Memorial Day Parade will occur on Monday, May 31. The Memorial Day Ceremony will take place immediately following the Parade at the Karl Lang monument in Spring Grove Veterans Cemetery. In case of inclement weather, the Ceremony will be moved to the Darien Library. The Parade will step-off at 10:00 am sharp and is a great opportunity to demonstrate pride in our role in the Community. Suggested attire for parading members will remain the same as in years past; namely, tan slacks, blue shirts – but not strictly enforced as all, of course, are welcomed!
The drop-off location is the Good Wives Shopping Center (drop-off time is 9:00 am; the Parade organizers will designate our assigned drop-off point with signs and guides at the Shopping Center) and the pick-up location is the Stamford Health Darien Draw Station at 1500 Post Road, a few yards across from the Darien Library.
We usually have about 6 cars in the parade, some being used for members who are more comfortable with riding the distance. Please let Mike Heitz (mheitz14@gmail.com) know if you have a car to include in the Parade and whether you will drive or wish to ride in a car or simply intend to walk the route. Lastly, we request that masks should be carried for use as required (or as deemed prudent).
