Save the Date for the City’s Memorial Day Weekend Celebration
The city’s 78th annual Memorial Day Ceremony and Parade will take place 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday, May 30, in Town Center.
Applications to participate in the parade are available at www.rockvillemd.gov/HTH. The deadline to apply is Friday, April 1.
The city is seeking speakers for the Memorial Day ceremony. Rockville and Montgomery County residents who have retired from, or currently serve in, the United States military are eligible to take part in the ceremony. Volunteer speakers must be comfortable speaking in public and must prepare a five- to seven-minute speech about their experiences in the armed forces, including what it means to serve and to honor those who have served.

The parade and ceremony will cap off a weekend that will see Rockville residents reunite with neighbors as its annual Memorial Day weekend festival moves to RedGate Park, 14500 Avery Road. Hometown Holidays: A Community Gathering will offer local entertainment, excellent food and a laid-back way to ease into summer and city special events.
The free festival will feature local flavor, including two stages of entertainment by local acts, a Taste of Rockville from local restaurants and activities for kids, from 11 a.m-7 p.m. Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29.
