The Borough of Old Tappan will be commemorating Memorial Day with their annual parade and ceremony on Monday, May 27. Everyone is invited. 

The parade will step off from the back of Northern Valley-Old Tappan High School promptly at 9:30 a.m. and end in Oakes Park on Central Avenue. 

In the event of inclement weather, the fire department siren will be sounded at 8:15 a.m. advising that the Parade is canceled.  In that event, the ceremony will be held in the Charles DeWolf School Gym at 9:30 a.m. 

“Please remember that Memorial Day is a solemn occasion, dedicated to the memory of our countrymen who have given their lives so that we may enjoy our freedom and let us treat their memory with dignity and respect, along the parade route as well as during the memorial ceremony,” the borough asked.
