Grace McQuade

The Village of New Hyde Park’s annual Memorial Day Observance Parade will be held on Saturday, May 27, starting at 10 a.m.

The parade begins at Lakeville Road and travels east on Jericho Turnpike to Village Hall, where a short but solemn ceremony will take place.

In tribute to their fallen comrades, the veterans will lay a wreath at the monument at Village Hall.

Upon leaving Village Hall, the parade will travel north on New Hyde Park Road to Memorial Park on Lincoln Avenue for a service and a wreath-laying.

The Memorial Day Tribute Parade and Ceremony is a solemn occasion for veterans.

Residents’ presence along the parade route and at the services is a way to show support and appreciation to veterans for their service to the country.

The village Board of Trustees, local elected officials, community groups and service groups will participate.
