LYNNFIELD — The annual Memorial Day Parade and Celebration will be held on Memorial Day on Monday, May 26.
The parade will muster in the parking lot of the Our Lady of Assumption Church at 8:15 a.m. Once assembled, the parade will march to the South Burying Ground on Salem Street and then to the Willow Cemetery on Summer Street. Ceremonies will be conducted at each location.
The parade will then return to the South Lynnfield Fire Station for a brief recess. The parade will reassemble at Lynnfield Middle School at 10 a.m. and will march to the West Burying Ground, the Old Burying Ground and the Forest Hill Cemetery. Again, ceremonies will be conducted at each location.
The parade will then march back to the Common for a final ceremony to begin at approximately 11 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial.
“Our celebration will include music and a complimentary lunch on the Common at the conclusion of the ceremony,” said Veterans Services Officer Bruce Siegel. “We hope to conclude all activities by 1 p.m. All veterans and residents are encouraged to participate in some or all of the ceremonies. Please consider joining your fellow residents and veterans in the parade, along the parade route or at the Memorial in honor of this special day.”
In case of heavy rain, the ceremony will be held in the LMS auditorium at 11 a.m.
