The parade begins at 10 a.m. at the American Legional Hall in Tisbury, and ends at the Oak Grove Cemetery, with its colorful avenue of flags. The Tisbury town picnic begins at noon at the overlook at Lake Tashmoo. The picnic is an Islandwide event.

I would like to thank all men and women who have served or are currently serving in our Armed Forces, especially the ones that have paid the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedoms. You will not be forgotten, God bless.
