The parade will be reviewed on Dixwell Avenue near Evergreen Avenue. Following the parade there will be a wreath ceremony at the Veterans
Memorial in front of Hamden Middle School. After the invocation, Mayor Jackson and the Parade Marshal 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 some of our Veterans. Many local organizations have registered to march in the parade. If your group is interested in participating, please contact Gerry Tobin in the Mayor’s Office at (203) 287-7100.
