Village Memorial Day Parade information and Invitation for Participation


The Village of Lakemore will continue a long-standing tradition of the annual Lakemore Memorial Day Parade and Memorial Dedication Service. 

The parade will be held Monday, May 29, 2023, and lineup will be at the Springfield Junior Senior High School at 10 a.m. The parade will kick off at 11 a.m.

Parade participants will travel down Sanitarium Road to Lake Road and end at the Memorial Triangle for the dedication service. 

For more information call Tracy Sayers at 330-733-6125 EXT. 3.

The invitation for those wanting to participate is below.

The citizens of the Village of Lakemore cordially invite you or your group to attend or participate in our annual Memorial Day parade on Monday, May 29, 2023. 

Participation is free and a great opportunity to be noticed. Line-up is at Springfield Sr/Jr High School, 1880 Canton Road, Akron, Ohio, 44312 at 10:00 a.m. Step-off is at 11:00 a.m. 

The parade route will be travelling down Sanitarium Road and turning right onto Lake Road. Our parade is one of celebration approaching the intersection of Lake Road and Monroe Street. 

Until this intersection is reached, we celebrate those who have served our country. Once each unit passes the intersection of Lake Road and Monroe Street, we go into “cadence only”. It is during this part of the parade that we remember those who have fallen and approach the Memorial Triangle in a solemn manner. Each unit will continue to the right of the Memorial Triangle and exit the parade onto Main Street at the Lakemore Municipal Building. Keeping with tradition, we will have a memorial and re-dedication service shortly following the parade at the Memorial Triangle. 

We hope you choose to participate! Should you have any questions, please contact the Village Administrator, Tracy Sayers, at 330-733-6125 ext. 3 or tfast@lakemoreohio.org. Please be advised if you wish to participate in the parade, you must supply your own vehicle and signage. Floats are welcome! Thank you for your cooperation and continued interest in our community.
