From the Hamden Memorial Day Parade Committee:
The town of Hamden will present its 77th annual Memorial Day Parade on May 27 beginning at 10 a.m. at Hamden High School and continuing north along Dixwell Avenue to the Memorial Town Hall.
The parade will be reviewed on Dixwell Avenue near Evergreen Avenue and following the parade, there will be a wreath ceremony at the Veterans Memorial in front of Hamden Middle School. After the invocation, Mayor Scott Jackson and Parade Marshals Myron Johnson and Barbara Tito will address those in attendance and wreaths will be placed at the memorial.
The parade will serve as a tribute to the deeds of our Veterans and a source of pride to our citizens.
We are always in need of convertibles to drive our World War II veterans. Many local organizations have registered to march in the parade. If your group is interested in participating or providing a ride to a Veteran, please contact Gail Vasil in the Mayor’s Office at 203-287-7102.
