Following the Service the people participating in the Memorial Day Parade will march down East Street to the Town Hall and the parade will begin from there at approximately 2pm. We have 7 Marching Bands this year, as well as a number of Shriners Units and lots of floats. Various Town organizations will be marching as well. The parade will continue down Main Street just to the South of the U.S. Post Office.
This year a number of units are being sponsored by various organizations. IRA Nissan, IRA Toyota, Schlott Tire and Lowell Five are each sponsoring a marching unit. Additionally, this year for the first time “This program is supported in part by a grant from the Tewksbury Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency”.
We thank each of our sponsors for their support and look forward to a GREAT day remembering those who have served our Country with honor.
