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.
It rained on the parade in 2024, but 2025 featured “Chamber of Commerce” weather – bright sunshine, blue skies, and comfortable temperatures for marchers and spectators alike.
Marching bands from West Hartford’s Conard and Hall high schools and Bristow, King Philip, and Sedgwick middle schools played patriotic songs along while veterans, civic groups, and Scouts, as well as baseball, softball, soccer, and lacrosse teams were among those who waved and entertained spectators along the route.
Mayor Shari Cantor and other members of the Town Council, members of the Board of Education, the town’s legislative delegation, Town Manager Rick Ledwith, and administration from the town’s police and fire departments, Public Works crews, and other town representatives also marched in the parade.
West Hartford resident LTC Seth M. Allen led the parade as grand marshal.
Several hundred people also attended a ceremony following the parade was held at the Veterans Memorial.
