ALLENTOWN – The borough’s annual Memorial Day parade will start at 10:30 a.m. May 29 and residents and visitors are asked to arrive in Allentown by 9:45 a.m.
The parade will be held rain or shine. There will be road closures on Main and High streets during the parade.
The parade will begin on Main Street near Allen Drive, proceed south through town and turn left on High Street.
Marchers will proceed to the Newell Elementary School where a memorial service will follow the parade, according to the Lions Club of Allentown, which organizes the event that honors Americans who were killed in the service of the nation.
