Sheboygan’s Memorial Day Parade and Celebration 2023

Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who have served in the United States military. In Sheboygan, Wisconsin, this important day is marked with a special event: the Memorial Day Parade and Celebration. This event is a collaboration between United States Veterans, active-duty personnel, the City of Sheboygan, the Sheboygan County Veterans Service Office, and Launch: Lakeland Student-Run Businesses.

Parade Details

The Memorial Day Parade and Celebration 2023 is scheduled to take place on Monday, May 29, 2023. The parade will begin at 9:00 am in downtown Sheboygan, offering a chance for the community to come together in a show of respect and gratitude for our military personnel.

The parade route starts at 7th Street & Center Avenue, then heads north on 7th Street to Michigan Avenue. From there, it goes west on Michigan to 9th Street, then south on 9th Street, and ends at Fountain Park. This route will take the parade through the heart of Sheboygan, allowing many residents and visitors to witness and participate in the event.

Celebration at Fountain Park

Following the parade, a ceremony will be held at Fountain Park. This ceremony is a key part of the Memorial Day events, providing a space for reflection and remembrance. While details of the 2023 ceremony are yet to be announced, it is likely to include speeches, a moment of silence, and possibly a performance by a local school or community group.

Parade Participation

One of the unique aspects of the Sheboygan Memorial Day Parade is that it is open to entrants who wish to show their support for our veterans and active-duty military personnel. However, all entrants must reflect a Memorial Day theme and should not be solely for the purpose of advertising a for-profit venture. This ensures that the focus of the parade remains on honoring our military personnel.

Event Sponsorship

The Memorial Day Parade and Celebration 2023 is sponsored by Kohler Credit Union. Their support helps make this important community event possible.
