Memorial Day Parade and Service

Memorial Day in Cape Elizabeth is traditionally observed with a parade and memorial ceremonies in the Town Center.  This is an opportunity for the community to come together in remembrance of those who have died serving our nation. 

The parade route begins at the intersection of Fowler Road and Old Ocean House Road, continues north on Route 77, west onto Scott Dyer Road and ending at the War Veteran’s Memorial between the Pond Cove and Middle schools.

A brief ceremony and laying of the wreath is held at the monument.

Following the ceremony, residents and guests are invited to an Open House at the Town Center Fire Station.

In the event of inclement weather, a ceremony and laying of the wreath is usually held at the Cape Elizabeth High School cafeteria.  Parking for the cafeteria is to the back of the High School.
