STAMFORD, CT— After Memorial Day parades were cancelled statewide last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many towns and cities are gearing up to observe the holiday this time around.

Stamford's Patriotic and Special Events Committee, in conjunction with the Stamford Veterans Park Partnership and the Veterans Council, will have a Memorial Day parade and ceremony on Sunday, May 30.

The parade will start at 11:30 a.m. at Latham Park (corner of Forrest Street , Bedford Street and Walton Place), and will run south on Bedford Street, across Broad Street and onto Atlantic Street to the Veterans Memorial Park. All participants are requested to be there at 11 a.m.

The ceremony will begin at 12 noon at Veterans Memorial Park. Federal, state, and city dignitaries will be in attendance, and one of the guest speakers will be the CT Commissioner of Veterans Affairs, Thomas Saadi. The ceremony will conclude with the unveiling of the Gold Star Monolith, one of the final pieces of the over $5 million renovation of the Veterans Memorial Park.

State Covid guidelines will be followed.
