A Glorious Memorial Day Parade

On a glorious Memorial Day, Scarsdale residents lined the streets of Scarsdale Village to watch the annual Memorial Day Parade on May 27th, 2019.

The parade lined up in the Village and began with a flag raising and ceremony at Boniface Circle, concluding with TAPS in Chase Park. Many different groups and people participate in the parade, with students, adults, and seniors alike all marching. Mayor Marc Samwick led the parade followed by Village Trustees Justin Arest, Jonathan Lewis, Jane Veron and Rochelle Waldman. The parade featured members of American Legion Post 52, led by Commander Tom Adamo. Some veterans marched while others rode in golf carts. Village Manager Steve Pappalardo, Deputy Village Manager Rob Cole and flag bearers from the Scarsdale Police and Fire Departments were in attendance as well as former Mayors and Trustees. There was a troop of Girl Scouts and a few troops of Boy Scouts, some older and some younger.

As usual, the parade was accompanied by the Scarsdale High School band playing classic American tunes.

It was a beautiful day for the people of Scarsdale to gather in Chase Park. Afterwards, many people went to Lange’s for a last meal before it will close on Friday. As a community, Scarsdale came together to honor all who have served our country.
