Roscoe Memorial Day Parade

The Roscoe VFW and the Roscoe Middle School Band, among other groups, will take part in a Memorial Day Parade.

The parade will take a shorter route from Bridge and Main to Broad Street and up to Roscoe Cemetery, 5550 Harrison Street, where the VFW will hold a memorial ceremony honoring Roscoe's fallen heroes. Everyone is invited. No throwing candy from floats, only from those walking on the side of road close to parade watchers.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars is a non-profit, non-political organization that advocates for veterans and their families. We ask that anybody or business marching in the parade display a patriotic theme and refrain from any political messaging.

Anyone interested in riding or marching in the parade needs to get their information and details to the VFW at roscoeillinoisvfw@frontier.com or (815) 623-7663 by April 30.
