Join the community in honoring and celebrating those who have served for the Brighton Memorial Day Parade. The parade will start at 10 am at Brighton High School and move east on Main Street making its way towards Mill Pond. Due to the Main Street Streetscape Project, the parade route has been changed. The parade starts at Brighton High School, continues on S. Seventh Street, to Main Street, to N. First Street, and then over the Tridge to the Veterans Memorial. After the parade, there will be a ceremony given by different speakers at AMP to honor the veterans who have served us. Come out and help the Brighton community remember and celebrate these veterans. Please visit the Veteran's Memorial on our Interactive Map for the parade route.
