PITTSBURGH – The decision to cancel popular holiday events last summer was not an easy one for many municipalities. Now these grand celebrations are returning, including the Butler Memorial Day Parade.
Kayla Naypauer is excited to bring her girls to the Butler Memorial Day Parade this year after it was canceled due to COVID-19 last year.
“I’m excited to have it come back. I mean, it’s a good return to normal, ”explained Naypauer.
The parade takes place in downtown Butler. The community can line up along Main Street to watch. However, no local high schools or bands will take part in the parade.
A ceremony will then take place in Diamond Park to explain the importance of Memorial Day.
Most government mitigation orders will be lifted on May 31, but people will still have to be masked.
