Memorial Day in Johnsburg is a patriotic event like no other. Gather your family and join fellow friends and neighbors to honor veterans, both past and present on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27th. Plan to be on the bridge sidewalk by 8:30a.m. to enjoy the patriotic performances. At the Memorial Day ceremony since September 11, 2001 they also honor our first responders, fire fighters, police officers and paramedics for their courage and sacrifices. The VFW will conduct the opening ceremony at 9:00a.m. with comments and introductions by the Village President, Edwin P.

Church St) for a concluding ceremony. The parade will travel along Chapel Hill Road through the roundabout to St. John’s Avenue and end at Rescue Squad Memorial Park. The concluding ceremony will take place immediately following the parade. Antique and military vehicles will also be on display. Stick around for the picnic, food and donations are being provided by Johnsburg residents and business owners. Anyone wishing to donate to this patriotic event can do so by dropping a check off at the David G.
