SKOWHEGAN — The Skowhegan Memorial Day Parade will be at 10 a.m. on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27. The parade 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. This 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 in attendance are asked to show up at that time. Groups that want to march or ride to show support for veterans should let organizers know ahead of time. This parade is intended to show support for local veterans — groups with other interests 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 toward downtown. 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.
Following the parade there will be a dedication at Veteran’s Memorial Park, next to town hall. To register or for more information, visit www.skowheganchamber.com.
