Memorial Day in Cape Elizabeth will be observed with a parade at 9 AM on Monday, May 25th, followed by a ceremony at the Village Green, and an Open House at the Cape Elizabeth Fire Department.
This is an opportunity for the community to come together in remembrance of those who have died serving our nation. The 2026 Memorial Day Parade Grand Marshal is Robert G. Orff, an Army veteran of the Vietnam War.
Veterans and active-duty personnel are invited to march. We encourage anyone who has a family member on active duty or in the Reserves/National Guard to notify Jim Huebener prior to the parade at [email protected] so they can be recognized. Groups interested in marching should also contact Jim Huebener.
The event will be canceled only in the event of heavy rain. The cancellation will be announced on the Cape Elizabeth town website by 7:00 AM on the day of the parade. No alternate location has been set.
