The Charlestown Memorial Day Committee, Inc. announces the 23rd annual Charlestown Memorial Day Observances will be held beginning at 12:00 noon on Sunday, May 30, rain or shine. Â
The events are held to give honor to the 1.5 million Americans who have sacrificed their lives so that we can live in the land of the free. It is these brave men and women we honor each Memorial Day. Â
Since 1999, the Committee has produced a parade with ceremonies following at Ninigret Park. In 2020, however, both were canceled due to CV19, and we were limited to only conducting the traditional wreath laying ceremonies. We had hoped that 2021 would be better, but regretfully, lacking clear direction from governmental bodies in January and February, we were unable to sign contracts or commit monies for the parade this year.
