On Monday, May 27, 2024, the Denver area will celebrate Memorial Day with our annual parade and ceremony in the Denver Memorial Park.  The Memorial Day Parade will start at 9:00 a.m. at the Denver Fire Company Hall located at North 4th Street and Locust Street.  The Blake Hillard Band will lead the march with any other groups that would like to fall in line.  A short service of tribute will take place alongside the cemetery at North 4th Street with a special hymn dedicated to the veterans buried there.  A representative from the Fraternal Order of Orioles Nest No. 54, Denver, PA, will place a floral tribute on the grave representing all veterans buried in our cemeteries. 

Upon conclusion of this abbreviated service, the parade will resume on North 4th Street to Walnut Street, and then turn west on Walnut Street to the bandstand in the Denver Memorial Park for the balance of the service.  Todd Stewart will lead the service and present the 2024 Memorial Day Ceremony Speakers.  Ken McCrea will provide an overview of revolutionary-era soldiers who are buried in this part of Lancaster County.

Free hot dogs and bottled water will be distributed at the Denver Memorial Park by the Denver Lions Club to all participants and attendees following the ceremony as supplies last. A special thanks to Denver Meats for the hot dog donation and Willow Creek for the donation of bottled water
