West Hartford’s Memorial Day parade is a time-honored tradition, with thousands marching and thousands more lining the sidewalks of Farmington Avenue and South Main Street along the parade route.

The weather was picture-perfect for this year’s parade – with warm temperatures and bright sunshine.

John Danaher Jr., a 97-year-old veteran of World War II and a Bronze Star recipient served as grand marshal and Honorary Assistant Parade Marshals included U.S. Rep. John B. Larson, State Sen. Derek Slap, State Reps. Joe Verrengia, Tammy Exum, and Jillian Gilchrest, Mayor Shari Cantor, and other members of the West Hartford Town Council and Board of Education.

Veterans, civic groups, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, as well as baseball, softball, lacrosse, and football teams, and marching bands from the middle and high schools, waved and entertained spectators along the route.

A ceremony at the Veterans Memorial followed the parade.
