March in Hillsborough's Memorial Day Parade with the Library

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. on May 27 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.
