De Pere Kiwanis Memorial Day Parade
Since 1952 the De Pere Kiwanis has organized and sponsored the annual Memorial Day Parade to honor our fallen veterans.
The event kicks off at 10:00am at the corner of 6th and Grant Streets near West De Pere High, proceeding to Main St, across the bridge to Broadway, ending at the Kress Library.
Come early to save a perfect seat anywhere along the parade route.
FUN for the Entire Family!
