Memorial Day Pancake Breakfast Hosted by Kiwanis Club of Wilton

Memorial Day in Wilton is small-town America at its best. For the last half-century, the day's festivities kick off with the traditional Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast at the Wilton Congregational Church.



This cherished tradition features delicious pancakes, sausages, and beverages.

The Pancake Breakfast is open to the public from 8 AM to 10:30 AM, just before the parade begins.

Come join us and start your Memorial Day with a hearty breakfast and community spirit!



Then proceed to Hillside Cemetery where likely a member of the Kiwanis—recently Kiwanians Jeff Turner and Bill Brennan — will play a meaningful role.

We honor Kiwanis members who have served as shown in 2021 below. Since then, other veterans have joined us while names in red have sadly left us.

Row 1: Jeff Turner, Bob Tortorella, Judd Mott, Gordon Nugent, Bob Russell

Row 2: Charlie Lewis, Bud Taylor, Frank Mabley, Ray Moskow, Bill Brennan
