Mark your calendars and join the Town of Hanover in paying tribute to our brave heroes at the annual Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony on Monday, May 29, 2023, starting at 10:00 am. On this solemn occasion, we gather as a community to honor and remember the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. The parade route includes remembrances at the Hanover Center Cemetery, Hanover Town Hall, and the Sylvester School World War II Memorial.

Parade Route

The parade will begin on Hanover Street with the stirring sound of the Hanover High School Marching Band, in front of Saint Mary's Church. Once at the cemetery, we will honor and memorialize various Veteran plots, including the Josselyn and Cummings World War I soldiers, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the police and fire deceased, the American Legion, and Veterans of Foreign Wars memorials.

Following, the parade will march toward the Civil War Memorial (by the cannons across from Town Hall). There, we will memorialize the Civil War as well as the Korean, Vietnam, and World War II veterans.

The parade will then march to the Sylvester School building to memorialize World War I soldiers and end at the Hanover Veterans Memorial.

Ceremony

Hanover's Memorial Day Ceremony will begin at the Veterans' Memorial at the conclusion of the Memorial Day Parade. The ceremony includes an opening prayer, remarks from our Veterans, and a roll call during the laying of a wreath. The memorial is located at 495 Hanover Street, Hanover, MA, next to the B. Everett Hall Field.
