Park Ridge came out strong for the Memorial Day Parade!

Despite the overcast skies, the community gathered to honor and remember U.S. military personnel who gave their lives in service.

The Park Ridge Chamber, joined by the Market After Dark committee and the Park Ridge Community Fund, proudly participated and were thrilled to see many smiling faces along the route.

The sense of unity and pride was palpable from children waving flags to enthusiastic neighbors.

The participants were spectacular, the music set the tone, and there were plenty of surprises.

It was a day full of remembrance, camaraderie, and strong

community spirit.

The Park Ridge Chamber is already looking forward to next year ... eager to share the special tradition

once again!
