MILFORD, MA — Milford's traditional Memorial Day parade will return in 2022 for the first time since before the coronavirus pandemic.

The parade will step off at 10 a.m. near the intersection of Medway Road (Route 109) and Veterans Parkway. The parade will then travel west all the way into downtown Milford, stopping at Calzone Park and ending at Draper Park.

The entire length of Route 109 and Route 16 will be closed during the parade, and police are urging drivers to avoid the area from about 10 a.m. to noon.
