SKOWHEGAN — The Skowhegan Memorial Day parade will be at 10 a.m. Memorial Day, Monday May 28.
The parade is to honor those who died while serving in the armed forces, and will feature local veterans, local legislators and local groups in support of veterans.
The parade will be followed by a short ceremony at Skowhegan Veterans Park on Water Street. It is a rain or shine event. The lineup for the parade begins at 9:15 a.m. on Dyer Street, which is off Madison Avenue.
Groups marching are asked to show up at 9:15. Any group is interested in marching or riding to show support for veterans, pet organizers know ahead of time, if possible. The parade is intended to show support for local veterans — groups with other interests besides that may not be allowed to participate. Final decisions will be made by the organizing committee and the veteran organizations in attendance.
The parade route will begin at the intersection of Dyer Street and Madison Avenue (U.S. Route 201) and turn left heading south towards downtown Skowhegan. The parade will then take a left onto Water Street and travel through the downtown ending at Skowhegan Veterans Park. Additional event parking and float parking is available at the catholic church just past the park on Water Street. Traffic will be stopped for the parade on the corresponding streets during the parade.
