With most of Connecticut’s COVID restrictions eased or rolled back entirely, Memorial Day 2021 is shaping up to look more normal than it did last year.
This year, many Connecticut communities have announced plans to hold parades in person to honor members of the armed forces who lost their lives. It’s a stark contrast from last year when municipalities hosted small outdoor and socially-distanced events with live-streaming with the state and region slowly emerging from weeks of lockdown.

DARIEN Though a light seems to be at the end of the pandemic tunnel, the glow of Fourth of July fireworks will have to wait another year to return in Darien.
According to Parks & Rec program supervisor Jami Gore, the annual fireworks that the town celebrates to mark Independence Day will return in 2022. However, she said that doesn’t mean Darien will not find a festive way to celebrate the occasion.
