Community Memorial Day Parade - We owe so much to our veterans, and it is especially bittersweet yet joyful to honor those still with us! This year's Community Memorial Day Parade will start at 10 a.m. on Memorial Day, Monday, May 29, 2017 (no rain date). This years theme is Trappe 300th Anniversary. The parade route is the same as last year, starting at Augustus Lutheran Church in Trappe on Seventh Ave., then downhill on Main St. in Trappe to Waterworks Park. The parade ends at the Park at noon with a Remembrance Observance followed by a Community Day which will feature great food, live music, and free entertainment and games for kids!

The non-profit Collegeville Economic Development Corp. (CEDC) and the Memorial Day Parade Committee volunteer their time and energy to bring this parade to the community every year. Sign up now to be in this wonderful community parade. Mark your calendar to attend with your family!
