Closing Bell: Memorial Day Outdoor Concert, Parade at Green-Wood Cemetery

Green-Wood Cemetery is hosting a history-filled Memorial Day celebration this year. Musicians and reenactors will march in a parade through Green-Wood Cemetery to its Civil War Soldier’s Lot for a ceremony that will include an artillery salute and names read by descendents of Civil War veterans.

Then the ISO Symphonic Band will play. The band was founded in 1995 to sponsor talented New York City students. Local food and drink vendors will be on site all day.

The event is free. The parade starts at 11 am on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25. The ISO Symphonic Band comes on at 2:30 pm. Click here for more information and to register.
