Liberty Corner Hosting Memorial Day Parade in Bernards Twp.

This year, the Bernards Township Memorial Day Parade again will be hosted in Liberty Corner, with the assembled paraders set to step off from the Liberty Corner Firehouse at 95 Church St. at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, May 27.

Each year, the annual parade is held in either Liberty Corner Village or Basking Ridge center, and this year the event is back in Liberty Corner.

The Bernards Township Committee, Bernards police department, Basking Ridge Fire Company and First Aid Squad, Liberty Corner First Aid Squad and Liberty Corner Fire Company will assemble at 9 a.m. at the firehouse, according to information from the fire company.

With residents and well-wishers usually lining the parade route, the procession will head down Church Street towards the flag pole and memorial at the triangle in downtown Liberty Corner, where speeches traditionally are made to remember the nation's veterans.

In honor of the occasion, special guest Armed Forces Veterans from the Lyons campus of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs New Jersey Health Care System are planning to attend. 

Other local groups due to participate in the parade include the Ridge High School Band, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Brownies, Cub Scouts, Daisies, the Ridge Baseball Club, and the Knights of Columbus. 

To march in the parade, and other information, contact the Liberty Corner Fire Company at 908-647-3530.

Liberty Corner Fire Chief Marc Friedman said those groups that sign up should check with him that morning to confirm that they will be part of the parade.
