Naperville Memorial Day Parade canceled
The committee that plans the Memorial Day Parade in Naperville has canceled the parade that had been set for Monday, May 25.
Also canceled are memorial ceremonies throughout town, a ceremony at the band shell and a veterans luncheon.
Parade organizers canceled because participation in the parade from veterans, spectators and other groups would have been "significantly reduced" because of school and business closures and health concerns related to the COVID-19 virus.
The committee asks people to "pause for a moment this Memorial Day to remember" veterans who have died and "what they gave for our freedoms and way of life."
