The City of Dunkirk Festivals & Special Events Department is looking for participants and sponsors for this year's Memorial Day Parade. The event is scheduled for Monday, May 26th and is currently sponsored by the Chautauqua Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Refresco, Dunkirk Memorial Post 62, and Central Station Restaurant.
The day will begin with a memorial service at 8:30 AM at the Dunkirk Lighthouse presented by the Knights of Columbus, then a 10:00 AM memorial service at Memorial Park, directed by the Dunkirk Joint Veterans Council. The parade begins at 11:00 AM and will travel down Central Avenue and end at Washington Park with a hydration station hosted by Revitalize Dunkirk. Miniature flags for waving will be distributed to families along the parade route while supplies last.
