Marblehead marked Memorial Day 2025 with reverence and community spirit. The day began at Clark’s Landing, where VFW Post Chaplain James Full offered opening remarks. The ceremony then moved to the Old Town House, where parade participants assembled for the traditional march through downtown. Along the route to Memorial Park, residents lined the sidewalks, waving flags and honoring the town’s veterans.
