Little-Neck Douglaston Memorial Day Parade to Be Held on May 27

The annual parade through northeast Queens is the largest of its kind in the United States.

This year’s Little Neck-Douglaston Memorial Day Parade will be held at 2 p.m. on May 27 along Northern Boulevard.  

The annual parade, which is the largest of its kind in the nation, will kick off at Jayson Avenue in Great Neck and march to Alameda Avenue in Douglaston.  

The day will begin with an interfaith service at 10 a.m. at the Community Church of Little Neck and a wreath-laying ceremony at 11 a.m. at the veterans memorial at Douglaston’s St. Anastasia Church.  

The grand marshal for the parade has not yet been announced, but honorary marshals will be Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Queens Borough President Helen Marshall.  

Other elected officials, civic leaders and organizations have also been invited to march in the parade.
