Beaufort Memorial Day Parade
2026-05-25 10:00 - 12:00 | Downtown Beaufort
Beaufort’s annual Memorial Day Parade is scheduled for Monday, May 25th at 10am.
The parade will follow the traditional route along Boundary Street from Adventure Street, onto Carteret Street, Bay Street and then to Bladen Street ending at the Beaufort National Cemetery.
The parade, organized by Beaufort County Veterans Affairs in partnership with the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, will be followed by a Memorial Day Ceremony at the Beaufort National Cemetery immediately after the parade ends.
Memorial Day is for honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military fighting for our liberty and freedom.
It’s not a day for celebrating. It’s a day for remembering.
Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.
All are encouraged to come to Beaufort’s Memorial Day parade and ceremony and honor those that have fallen for our Country.
Lineup of all groups, floats and individual participants begins at 9 a.m.
Every community group, children’s group, civic organization, and community member is encouraged to participate in memory of all veterans who died serving our country. Click here to download the parade entry application. The deadline to submit parade applications is Monday, May 18th.
In case of inclement weather, the parade will be canceled.
