Lambertville, N.J., will continue the long standing tradition of honoring veterans who proudly served their country in the United States Armed Forces with the Memorial Day Parade and a commemorative ceremony immediately following the parade on May 29 at Mary Sheridan Park.
Robert Miller of West Amwell Township, N.J., a Bronze Star recipient, will be the grand marshal for this special event, the Memorial Day Parade Committee announced. He served in the United States Army from 1983 to 2016 and retired as an E9 command sergeant major.
All parade participants are asked to start arriving at 8:15 a.m. at the parking lot of the CVS Pharmacy located on Cherry Street in Lambertville. Emergency service vehicles are asked to arrive at 8:30 a.m. and to start lining up on the west bound side of South Main Street north of the Cherry Street intersection. Community organizations are encouraged to attend and participate. Students of the area schools are welcome to join in with floats, bands, and decorated bicycles.
Step off is at 9 a.m. sharp with the lineup starting at the corner of North Union and Cherry streets. The parade route will stay the same as in previous years starting at North Union and Cherry Streets, traveling south on Union Street to Mount Hope Street, then north on Main Street to York Street and ending at Mary Sheridan Park. Mayor Andrew J. Nowick and City Council members will host a Memorial Commemorative Ceremony honoring all those who served their country with a special guest speaker in Mary Sheridan Park. Immediately following the ceremony, all are invited to the American Legion for the annual picnic.
