Laurel Hill East is the site of the first Memorial Day in Philadelphia in 1868. Join the General Meade Society for a special ceremony and parade including speeches, pageantry, wreath-laying, music, and honor guards. Special veteran markers will be dedicated and placed at previously unmarked veterans’ gravesites.

All are welcome. Historical groups, veterans, color guards, and military contingents are especially encouraged to participate.

Refreshments will be served after the ceremony.
