East Greenwich Memorial Day Parade

Spectators will be delighted by multiple marching bands and various local groups showing their patriotic pride. Closing ceremonies will include a recitation of the Gettysburg Address by Our Lady of Mercy 8th grade student Callie Smith and the highly anticipated fly-over by the 143rd Airlift Wing, stationed at Quonset Point Air National Guard Station.
This parade, and the Town’s other parade on Veterans Day, is a long-standing tradition by one of a handful of Rhode Island communities who continue to honor the living and the dead of past conflicts. It is with a great deal of pride that the Town of East Greenwich sponsors these parades.
