Join us as West Hartford turns up and out to honor and remembers soldiers who died defending America. WHCi will be live along the parade route in front of ...the West Hartford Veterans Memorial as the parade steps up Farmington Avenue and ends at Town Hall.

A live broadcast of the Memorial Day Parade in West Hartford, hosted by Chris Printis. The parade honors military veterans, with a military flyover by the Connecticut Air National Guard's 103rd Airlift Wing - 00:13

Throughout the event, various local groups and organizations participate, including the West Hartford Police and Fire Departments, local schools' marching bands, and community service organizations. Chris highlights the community spirit, with many residents wearing patriotic attire and each contingent marching in honor of an individual soldier.

The parade features numerous marchers and floats, including veterans, youth sports teams, and Girl Scout troops, emphasizing the importance of community support and gratitude for those who served. We express our heartfelt thanks to veterans for their service and invite people to watch the Ceremony that follows at the Veterans Memorial.
