APPLETON (NBC 26) — The Memorial Day Parade and “Moment of Remembrance” Ceremony will return to Appleton on Monday, May 30, a statement from downtown organizers said.
The return comes after three years away from the traditional route and historic Riverside Cemetery. Changes were made to previous parades in the past couple of years due to the pandemic.
“The Appleton Memorial Day Parade provides our community with an opportunity to honor the service and sacrifice behind American rights and freedoms,” said Corey Otis, Appleton Parade Committee Chairperson. “Finally, we can come together again and collectively pay our proper respects to those who died while serving our country.”
The Appleton Memorial Day Parade annually pays tribute to servicemen and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving in defense of the United States. Organizers say this solemn event draws hundreds of participants and thousands of spectators to Appleton.
The parade begins at 9 a.m. on Memorial Day.
