The Glen Cove Memorial Day Parade is rain or shine

Hundreds of residents gathered in downtown Glen Cove on Monday as the city honored the nation’s fallen service members during its annual Memorial Day ceremony and parade. The remembrance ceremony was held before the parade began, with speakers paying tribute to those who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces and emphasizing the importance of honoring their sacrifice and preserving their legacy. Following the ceremony, the parade route began at Cottage Row and Forest Avenue and proceeded through downtown Glen Cove, with veterans, local elected officials, first responders, school groups, marching bands and community organizations marching alongside American flags as spectators lined the sidewalks and applauded throughout the morning.
