Westfield's Memorial Day Parade 2018

WESTFIELD, NJ — The Memorial Day Parade in Downtown Westfield will be held on Monday beginning with opening ceremonies at the Veterans Memorial Monument at 9 a.m.

Participants in the parade are required to assemble in the Lord & Taylor (West) parking lot at 8 a.m. All Westfield organizations are invited to march.

The parade committee urges organizations or individuals to either march in the parade, sponsor a wreath to be placed at the Monument or to make a financial contribution to the parade committee to help offset the costs of running the parade.

The committee is requesting information about any surviving World War II Veterans from Westfield and surrounding towns as they are planning a special tribute for them.

This year’s parade route, after the opening ceremonies, will be straight up East Broad Street ending at Fairview Cemetery.

The Westfield Memorial Day Parade is sponsored by the Town of Westfield and The American Legion Martin Wallberg Post #3.

If there are any questions, call Stan Cuba at 908-233-2767.
