The Gardiner Memorial Day Parade, organized by the Smith-Wiley American Legion Post 4, will return this year.
The parade will begin at the Gardiner Armory at 10 a.m. Monday, May 27, and will end at the Gardiner Common with a ceremony event in the park to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Expect delays, and proceed with caution if you plan to travel through the area during that time. Brunswick Avenue will be shut down for the parade, and the area will be busy with individuals wishing to watch the parade, according to a news release from Gardiner Main Street.
The following streets will be closed off by 9 a.m.: Dresden Avenue, from Church Street to School Street; Lincoln Avenue, from Brunswick Avenue to School Street; and School Street, from Brunswick Avenue to Dresden Avenue.
These streets around the park are reserved for the participants of the parade, so plan accordingly.
Also, while the parade is occurring, the Gardiner Police Department will be shutting off the Brunswick Avenue access to Central, Washington and High Holburn streets.
