Memorial Day Parade Set for 10am Today in Kenton

The Memorial Day Parade in Kenton is this morning.

Civic organizations, nonprofits, churches, and schools are participating.

Lineup for the parade will be at 9:00am this morning and the parade is set to begin at 10am.

An important update regarding the route for this year’s Memorial Day Parade was announced last week by the City of Kenton.

To accommodate safety measures and enhance the parade experience, city of Kenton officials announced that the parade will now proceed up Carrol Street to Main Street, instead of the usual Columbus Street route.

Please be advised that there will be no parking on Main Street from Carrol to Franklin during the parade.

They encourage all parade goers to utilize the bricked parking areas to line up and set up chairs for a comfortable viewing experience.

Officials thanked the community for their understanding and flexibility.

A Memorial Service at Grove Cemetery is to follow after the parade.

Family Fun Day will also take place today at Veterans Memorial Park.

The event will take place from 11am until 3pm and will include a food truck, games, bounce house and more.
