For more than three decades, Bartlett has honored its deceased veterans with a Memorial Day Walk and Remembrance. Last year the village observed the tradition virtually, but is pleased that this year’s Memorial Day Remembrance is back in real time.

Please come and join this hometown commemoration starting at 10:30 a.m. at Bartlett Park with an American Legion flag retirement ceremony. At 11 a.m. veterans, scouts, civic groups and bagpipers line up for the walk to Bartlett Cemetery. After arriving at the cemetery at approximately 11:30 a.m., the day will continue with the posting of the colors and invocation and will conclude with a 21-gun salute, and playing of Taps.

Please help keep others safe by following all current CDC guidelines for an outdoor event, including continuing to wear a mask if you are unvaccinated.
