The 71st Annual St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade is a great event right here in our hometown. It starts at 1 p.m. today; Sunday, May 26th along Harper Avenue from Ridgeway Street traveling north to 11 Mile Road. We have been fortunate to march in previous years and are cheering on this year’s entries. The parade is one of the largest in Michigan with this year’s grand marshal being Miss America Madison Marsh, who serves in the Air Force and is the first active-duty member to hold the Miss America title. 180 applicants, approximately 2,500 participants, more than 150 motorcycles and 330 additional vehicles will add to the parade’s festivities. There are 6 high school bands and 20 other musical groups scheduled to perform as well. We hope you come out to enjoy time with your family & friends while honoring those who have served our country.
