Memorial Day Parade

Each year, some of our Lil' Sluggers T-Ball Baseball participants, coaches and parents will take part in the annual Florence Memorial Day Parade. This parade is organized by the Northampton Veterans' Services to honor those who died in military service to the United States during peace and war. The parade runs through the center of Florence and ends on Park Street. All participants, coaches and parents are welcome to walk in the parade with us this season. 

• Players should wear their team t-shirt and hat and coaches should wear their coaches shirts.
• Players must be accompanied by an adult during the parade. The route typically takes 30-45 minutes to complete.
• Strollers and wagons are allowed if needed to walk the parade route.
