We are just one week away from the Memorial Day Parade & Kids Bike Parade! Be sure to register your child to take part in this special event. Children are invited to decorate their bikes, ride along in the parade, and after the ceremony, they’ll have a chance to win a prize.
Join us as we walk, and ride, in remembrance and honor of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. This year’s parade route will be slightly different, with an added stop at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church Cemetery to honor the 14 Revolutionary War soldiers buried there. The parade will conclude at the bandstand along the river with a brief ceremony.
