The parade will begin at the Rainbow Trail firehouse, proceed past the beach, and continue along Upper Rainbow to Highwood.
Following the parade, Memorial Day Ceremonies will take place at the ballfield at 11:00 a.m., offering the community a moment to honor and reflect on the sacrifices made by military service members.
The morning’s formal events will be followed by an afternoon of food and fun at the Fire Company Open House, beginning at 12:00 p.m. (noon). Guests can enjoy hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, beer, and soda, all served at the firehouse.
This annual celebration is sponsored by the Veterans of Rainbow Lakes and the Rainbow Lakes Volunteer Fire Company, continuing a legacy of community engagement, patriotism, and neighborly spirit in Parsippany.
For many residents, the event marks the unofficial start of summer and a meaningful opportunity to gather in remembrance and unity as a community.
