Wednesday, Nov. 11

Veterans Day Parade: Happily, the parade must go on! After having to cancel Memorial Day Parade in May, the town is able to hold the Veterans Day Parade amid the pandemic (cue social distancing and masks). The parade steps off from Academy Field at 10 a.m. and proceeds along the usual route – Spring Street to Mawney Street to First Avenue to Main Street. The big difference? No closing ceremonies. Find out more HERE.
