Thomasville’s 2024 Memorial Day Parade

A Heartfelt Thank You to All Who Joined Thomasville’s Memorial Day Parade and Ceramony

Thomasville, NC, recently hosted the largest Memorial Day Parade in the Southeast, and it was a truly unforgettable event. The parade commenced along Main Street, right across from the iconic water fountain at the corner of Main Street and Salem Street. From there, it turned down Salem Street, continued to Memorial Park on Stadium Drive, and concluded with a deeply moving ceremony at Cushwa Stadium, located at 201 Stadium Drive.

The parade was led by two esteemed WWII veterans, setting a tone of honor and reverence. Spectators were treated to a splendid array of professional floats, military vehicles, and the presence of Gold Star families, making the parade both visually stunning and emotionally impactful.

The heartfelt participation of the community in this patriotic parade was deeply appreciated. Following the parade, attendees gathered for a meaningful ceremony at Cushwa Stadium. Highlights of the ceremony included a poignant wreath-laying, a solemn 21-gun salute, and heartfelt tributes to our Gold Star families.

The success of this event was marked by the strong community spirit and the collective gratitude expressed towards those who have served and sacrificed for our nation. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and to The Memorial Day Parade Committee for making this a remarkable tribute to our heroes. Your presence and support were invaluable, making this day a truly memorable celebration of honor, remembrance, and community.
