Here's the press release announcing the cancellation of the Kennett Square Memorial Day Parade -- as well as the retirement of longtime parade director Bill Taylor.
It is with great regret that we have CANCELED the Kennett Square Memorial Day Parade currently scheduled for Monday, May 25, 2020 due to the increasing safety concerns in the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic. There is a global cancellation of nearly all highly-attended events of its kind around the world. While this decision is disappointing, Historic Kennett Square and the Kennett Borough are acting with great concern for the well-being of the parade staff, borough employees, parade participants, spectators, and sponsors.
I will be retiring as Chairman of the parade and would like to thank everyone who has participated in our patriotic holiday event in memory of past and present veterans who have kept us safe and free because of their sacrifice. You have given us your best in making our parade and ceremony a success and for honoring our veterans for the past 16 years.
On behalf of my company, family and parade committee, I thank you for the privilege of serving our community.
Respectfully,
Bill Taylor
