The parade starts at Nolan Field and proceeds along Wakelee
Avenue, down Jackson Street, and over the Maple Street bridge.The marchers will take a right on Main Street and pass in review at City Hall. It ends at Big Y Shopping Plaza on Main Street.
The parade is in honor of all veterans and a brief ceremony will be held in front of City Hall to honor the veterans.
The theme of this years' parade is “Ansonia's Tribute To Those Who Served and Who are Now Serving Around the World”.
