Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade Gets Back to Its Roots

On the heels of 2013's "Let the Good Times Roll" theme, parade moves toward a more traditional focus, "Honoring Those Who Gave Their Lives for Freedom." Pre-parade Pancake Breakfast and post-parade Kiddo! Community Celebration bookend the day.

The daunting “fashion police” will be out in full force as usual at the Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade on May 26, and this year they won’t just be looking to issue citations for "don'ts" like jean shorts, leather fanny packs and sockles.

Be warned: the 2014 edition of the parade is all about breaking out your red, white and blue duds.

The biggest day-long party of the year in the 94941, the Memorial Day Parade, along with the pre-parade Mill Valley Volunteer Firefighters’ Association’s Pancake Breakfast and the post-parade Kiddo! Memorial Day Community Celebration, are taking a traditional turn this year. In response to calls from veterans to make the event more traditional, the I Love a Parade Committee is building the parade around the theme of “Honoring Those Who Gave Their Lives for Freedom.”
