Massapequa's Memorial Day Parade

Residents of Massapequa and Massapequa Park came out today to watch the parade down Park Blvd., across Clark Blvd., to Broadway.

The Massapequa American Legion Post #1066 and the Sgt. Peter F. Colleran Post #776, in cooperation with the Village, conducted the annual Memorial Day Parade in the Massapequas. The parade began on Front Street and traveled north on Park Boulevard, west on Clark Boulevard and ended at Klestinec Park.

Congressman Peter King, (NY-R), joined Mayor Jeffrey Pravato, alongside village trustees Teresa Spinosa, Dan Pearl and other village representatives in the parade. Veterans, Firefighters, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, and Girl Scouts, all walked to the music played by the marching band. A memorial service was held there to pay tribute to those who made the supreme sacrifice in the defense of our nation. Events were followed by refreshments served by the American Legion on Veterans Boulevard.
