Annual Memorial Day Parade

On Monday, May 30, 2016, the Califon Recreation Committee will proudly present its 15th Annual Califon Memorial Day Parade. The parade will start at 11:00 AM on School Street and will feature bagpipers, the 15th New Jersey Volunteers Infantry Company A, antique cars, scout troops, area fire and rescue squads and more. The parade will proceed down Main Street and will continue on to Califon Island Park where the Voorhees High School Jazz band will perform.

In honor of those being remembered, bagpipes will play from the center of the Califon Bridge. A memorial service will be held next to the Califon Veterans Memorial. The National Anthem will be played while local scouts raise the American flag. The 15th, NJ will close the memorial service by performing a 21 gun salute as everyone pauses for a moment of silence.

Afterwards, Califon Fire Company will have food and drinks for purchase. Also joining the festivities are the Kona Ice Truck, Fun Fitness on Wheels by Kidz on the Go and more!
