Lake Zurich Memorial Day events canceled

Lake Zurich's annual Memorial Day parade and public ceremony have been canceled due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, American Legion Post 964 officials said Tuesday in a news release.

The event, which was originally scheduled for Memorial Day, May 25, traditionally involves community and veterans organizations, village leaders and youth groups.

The post and community will still observe the day, lowering the American flag to half staff and displaying a wreath at the Lake Zurich Veterans Monument. Groups also will continue to place flags on the graves of veterans in the local cemeteries.
