Whatcom Memorial Day Parade

The Whatcom Memorial Day Parade will take place on May 27, 2023 from noon to 3 p.m. The parade starts at the intersection of Alabama and Cornwall streets. This year’s parade will be the 101st iteration in the past 104 years, interrupted only by the “Great Depression” and the “COVID pandemic.” The parade’s purpose is to “Celebrate our Communities and Honor our Heroes.” This is a non-political family event where we proudly showcase our entire Whatcom County Communities, including commercial entries, schools, fire/law enforcement and all branches of the armed services.
