Description
On Monday, November 11th, 2024, The Town of Winchester will observe Veterans Day with a parade and civic exercises sponsored by Winchester’s Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 3719 and the Town’s Veterans Affairs office.
The parade will muster at the Winchester High School campus a bit before 10:00am and step-off at 10:15am. The parade will travel northbound on Skillings to Main Street. It will turn left on Main Street, right on Church Street, left on Waterfield Road and left on Mystic Valley Parkway. The parade will pause at the WWI Memorial to place wreath then continue down Main Street, right on Mt. Vernon Street and end at the Edward F. O’Connell Memorial Plaza for Civic Exercises.
Without the support and encouragement on Winchester’s Town government and its citizen, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 3719 is able to continue this observance. The line of march and the civic exercises reflect many parts of the community. Present will be, as always the Police Department’s Honor Guard, members of the Select Board, School Committee and Representative Michael Day. Inspiring music will be heard from Winchester High School band and McCall Middle School Jubilation Singers as well as from the Boston Firemen’s Band. Men from William Parkman Masonic Lodge will again be with us as well as Scout troops and civic representatives.
All veterans are sincerely encouraged to join in this experience.
