The York Committee for Veterans' Affairs is coordinating the 2022 Memorial Day parade. The parade consists of marching bands, a contingent of York’s veterans, military vehicles, public service organizations, and more. Invited participants will gather at St. Christopher's Church on Route 1A in York, and march south through the village at 10am. The parade will culminate in the green behind the Town Hall. There will be a brief ceremony in the green to honor the Nation's war dead. Bands from York High School and York Middle School, as well as the Piscataqua Junior Rangers Fife & Drum Corps will perform. Major General Tom Spencer, United States Army, will give remarks.
