While it might be dreary and cold outside, it's never too early to start thinking of summer.
The 2026 Park Ridge Memorial Day Parade will be held on Monday,
May 25, 2026. Parade staging will start at 0830. A brief safety brief and commemoration ceremony will take place at 0930 in front of the South Park Recreation Center. The parade will step off precisely at 1000 and conclude no later than 1200. We will follow the same route and we expect almost 16,000 participants & spectators along the way.
As a past parade participant, you can sign up for this year's parade here. See the attached slide for more details. Reach out with any questions!

To help make this event as memorable and impactful as possible, we are seeking sponsorship support from local businesses and organizations.

M-NASR Recognition Night is an important event that highlights the achievements of our participants and brings together families, staff, volunteers, and community members. It is a meaningful opportunity to acknowledge the hard work of our participants while also strengthening the sense of community that makes M-NASR so special.
Community partnerships not only help support events like Recognition Night but also raise awareness about the important work M-NASR does to provide inclusive recreational opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
