The 24th annual Celebrate Commemorate observance during the weekend of May 26-28 & 30th, will bring thousands of people “home” to Waterloo to participate events to delight every family member. They include musical performances, Art and Craft shows, children’s games, a youth essay contest, and a big parade celebrating our freedom at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 27th.  The parade will feature wounded warriors from the VA Hospital in Canandaigua, escorted by scores of Patriot Guard and American Legion motorcycle riders, bands, floats, and military groups including National Guard and active military troops.

The National Park Service at Women’s Rights National Historical Park is pleased to be a sponsor of Waterloo’s Celebrate Commemorate Memorial Day 2023 event building relationships with the communities we serve. We hope to see you at the National Park Service’s Waterloo site, the M’Clintock House, at 14 East Williams Street.
