Memorial Day Parade Plan Announced
From Steve Bradford, American Legion Post #47 Commander and Memorial Day Parade Committee Chair
The Holliston Memorial Day Committee is honored to announce a Holliston Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony this year is being planned for Monday, May 31, 2021. This event is made possible because of changes to the state’s COVID-19 Re-Opening Guidelines for Phase IV, Step 2 that go into effect on May 29th.
Of primary importance is the need to keep everyone safe. Despite April 30’s relaxed outdoor face mask requirement, face masks are required outdoors when it is not possible to maintain a social distance from those not part of your household. This requirement applies to events such as parades and festivals. Please keep your friends’ and neighbors’ health in mind when attending gatherings.
We understand that some groups may not feel comfortable participating in this parade. We ask leaders of organizations joining us to ensure their group’s compliance with all applicable health and safety protocols.
The Memorial Day Committee, comprised of Veterans from the American Legion (Steve Bradford, Walter McGrath, Steve Napolitano) and the VFW (Charlie Jacobs, Ron Turcotte), is working with HFD and HPD to bring you an event that pays respect to those who have made the Ultimate Sacrifice in defense of our country, our community, and our citizens.
Further information will be announced as we approach Memorial Day 2021.
