North Stonington Memorial Day Parade

North Stonington Memorial Day Parade returns on Monday, May 25, bringing residents and visitors together for a morning of remembrance and community tradition in North Stonington Village. Beginning at 10 a.m., the parade winds through the village before concluding with a Memorial Ceremony at Memorial Park. The annual observance remains one of the town’s longstanding Memorial Day traditions, drawing families, veterans groups, and local organizations together to honor those who lost their lives in military service.

The parade route moves through the quiet village setting that gives North Stonington its distinctive small-town New England character, with spectators gathering along the streets beneath American flags and late-spring skies. While the atmosphere carries the familiar feeling of a hometown Memorial Day gathering, the focus of the day remains centered on remembrance, reflection, and gratitude for the sacrifices made by American service members across generations.

Visitors attending the North Stonington Memorial Parade should plan for temporary road closures beginning at 9:45 a.m. Route 2 will be closed between the rotary and Kady’s Farm Stand during the parade. The event concludes at Memorial Park with a ceremony honoring fallen service members and continuing the community’s Memorial Day observance.
