Join Library and March in Memorial Day Parade

March With The Hillsborough Library In The Memorial Day Parade! – Saturday, May 25
Celebrate Memorial Day by marching with the Hillsborough Public Library in the Hillsborough Memorial Day Parade! We'll have a great time together as we walk the parade route from Auten Road to New Amwell Road to Beekman Lane and end at the municipal complex, a distance of about 1.5 miles. Enjoy the community spirit and be a part of something special! The parade begins at 10:30 a.m. May 25 and lasts about an hour.

Stay afterward at the municipal complex for a moving tribute to our veterans in the Garden of Honor. Please note that children under 17 MUST BE accompanied by an adult. Register online on our website or call 908 369-2200 ext 14.
