Hamden – The Town of Hamden will present its 86th Annual Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 27th, 2024 beginning at 10:00AM at Hamden High School and continuing north along Dixwell Avenue to the Hamden Middle School. The parade will serve as a tribute to the deeds of our veterans and a source of pride to our citizens.

Immediately following the parade, there will be a Remembrance Ceremony inside the Hamden Middle School Veterans Memorial Auditorium, located at 2623 Dixwell Avenue in Hamden. After the invocation, Mayor Lauren Garrett will address those in attendance, and Parade Marshals will be introduced. Wreaths will then be placed outside at the Veterans Monument.

If your group or organization would like to participate in this year’s Memorial Day Parade, please fill out our new online form by end of day Friday, May 10th. Many local organizations register to march in the parade. The Town of Hamden would be honored if current members of our Armed Forces would join us.

We are always in need of convertibles to drive some of our Veterans.

If you have any questions about the parade, please come to a Veterans Commission meeting on April 3rd or May 1st at 5:30PM at Hamden Government Center, Recreation Conference Room, 2750 Dixwell Avenue, Hamden CT 06518.
