Rowayton Memorial Day Parade
We look forward to seeing this town show their patriotism as our beloved Memorial Day Parade returns on Sunday at noon. Choose a spot along McKinley Street or Rowayton Avenue to cheer on our veterans, fire fighters, police officers, local little league players, nursery schools, and more! This is a time honored tradition that finishes with a ceremony at the Veteran’s Canon to honor those who died serving our country. Don't forget to save room for hotdogs at the Rowayton Fire Department following the parade! For additional information contact Chris Sovak
