Memorial Day Parade
The West Hartford Memorial Day Parade will be held on Monday, May 28, 2012 at 10:00 AM. West Hartford takes great pride in hosting its annual Memorial Day Parade. It follows a tradition established by returning West Hartford veterans from World War I in the 1920s. The West Hartford Veterans Commission welcomes all veterans, with a group or alone, to join us in the parade. The focus this year is on Korean War Veterans.
