On Monday, May 26, Belmont will honor the men and women who made the supreme sacrifice in defense of our country at its annual Memorial Day Celebration and Parade.

The traditional observation will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the Belmont Cemetery – across from the Grove Street Playground – with speeches, the Belmont High School marching band playing the National Anthem, decorating of graves, reading the names of Belmont residents who died in service of their country during conflict, and the playing of taps.

This year’s parade will step off immediately following the ceremony and will march down Grove Street to Bright Road. The parade will turn left on Concord Avenue, and travel to the new Veterans Memorial at Clay Pit Pond.
