Memorial Day Parade is no more
Events honoring veterans still in the works ×
In 2019, Edith Ferrell was the last Bayonne Memorial Day Parade Grand Marshall to march in the parade.
For the last 100 years the city of Bayonne has hosted its annual Memorial Day Parade. Now, the tradition is coming to end, according to the Bayonne Memorial Day Parade Committee.
The committee, made up of all the Veterans Posts, organized the event, while the city supplied financial assistance. COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the 2020 and 2021 parades. But the state of the veteran population has led to its final cancellation.
