Memorial Day Parade
May 25, 2026
Description
Memorial Day isn’t just an excuse for springtime sales and a three-day weekend—it is, first and foremost, a time to honor citizens who’ve served the United States in times of war. The City honors our fallen heroes with parades all over the five boroughs. The Little Neck–Douglaston parade in Queens is reputedly the largest. You can also follow Brooklyn’s Memorial Day Parade (159 years old), which begins at 78th Street and Third Avenue. A smaller parade takes place in Staten Island.
