The Larchmont Edgewater Civic League invites everyone to their first-ever Larchmont Edgewater Memorial Day Parade & Ceremony on Monday, 29 May from 10:00am – Noon!
They’ll be celebrating our freedom with a fun neighborhood parade, and then Honor the Fallen with a brief ceremony. The parade starts at 10:00am at St. Patrick Catholic School and ends at Larchmont United Methodist Church, and at the end, they’ll have free hotdogs, ice cream, community info-booths, and a brief 11:30am wreath-laying ceremony. Mayor Alexander is the Grand Marshal of the parade and will preside over the ceremony as well.
There will be a number of other participants marching, including Scouts, Daughters of the American Revolution & Sons of the American Revolution (both, in period attire), Gorra the Goggled Great Dane Service Dog (riding in a car with a sunroof, where she will have her head sticking out and watching the crowd), American Legion Post 35, Lafayette River Circle of the Kings Daughters, classic cars, bagpipes/drums, a WWII jeep, Norfolk Fire, ODU Police, and local school kids marching and on bikes. Additionally multiple elected officials and candidates for office will be marching, including: Mayor Alexander, Councilwoman McClellan, Delegate Angelia Williams Graves, Delegate Candidate Andy Pittman, Delegate Candidate Phil Hernandez, and Norfolk Commonwealth Attorney, Ramin Fatehi.
If weather is a concern, they will make the go/no-go call on Sunday afternoon and let everyone know via their website, http://www.larchmontedgewater.org and their Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/LarchmontEdgewaterCivicLeague/. They do ask that everyone refrain from parking along the route to give maximum room for safety and to optimally view the parade.
