Memorial Day Parade

The Town of Colchester is holding its annual Memorial Day Parade on Sunday May 26, 2024. This is a time for the community to come together and pay tribute to all those who have lost their lives and show support to surviving families. This year’s parade theme is “Colchester Recognizes the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Anzio Where Colchester’s William J. Johnston Earned the Congressional Medal of Honor.”

The parade will step off at 12:30pm from William J. Johnston Middle School and head west on Norwich Ave, turn right on Main Street and end at the Colchester Town Green where a Memorial Day Ceremony will follow.

Parade Participants are asked to arrive at William J. Johnston Middle School Parking lot for 11:30am. Roads surrounding drop off will close promptly at 12:00pm and all traffic will be redirected away from the parade route.
