Memorial Day Parade

The Town of East Greenwich will have another one of their spectacular parades on Monday, May 28, 2012, commencing at 10 AM. The parade steps off from Academy Field and will wind a short way through the "Hill" area turning left onto First Avenue (Route 401). The entire procession will pause briefly for a wreath-laying ceremony at the flag by the World War II Memorial on the corner of Cliff Street. The parade will continue North on Main Street. Closing ceremonies will take place on the front steps of Town Hall.  

There is no rain date so in the event of inclement weather, please call the EG Police Department at (401) 886-8639 who will be notified if the parade is cancelled. 

A temporary parking ban will be in effect on several streets surrounding Academy Field such as Rector Street and Spring Street to accommodate parade vehicles. 

For more information, please contact Carl I. Hoyer at (401) 884-6272 or Leigh A. Botello at (401) 886-8604.
