The Darien Memorial Day Parade will kick off their activities at 10 AM at the Goodwives Shopping Center on Old Kings Highway, and end at the Soldier's Monument in the Connecticut Veterans Cemetery, where a ceremony will take places immediately following the parade. Don't forget the EMS 53 annual Memorial Day Food Fair and Community Celebration at Tilly Pond Park. It's a day of celebration and excitement for the town of Darien. Post 53 members work year round to prepare for this day of food, live entertainment, games, ambulance tours, and a silent auction. The famous food tents include food from local vendors and Post 53’s own recipies. The event is a day of fun for the entire family and helps to maintain Darien EMS’s free service to the town of Darien.
