OAKLAND COUNTY — Many communities around Oakland County will be hosting Memorial Day parades and ceremonies to honor and remember veterans. Cities including Ferndale, Royal Oak, Clawson and Berkley all will have events on Memorial Day, which is on Monday, May 29. Ferndale’s Memorial Day Parade will start at 10 a.m. on Livernois at West Maplehurst Avenue. It will proceed north on Livernois to West Oakridge Street, where marchers will proceed on to Pinecrest Drive and then to West Nine Mile Road. It will then end back on Livernois and the city’s Memorial Mall. The parade will be celebrating its 105th year. According to a press release, “Participants will take to the streets with veterans, scout troops, Ferndale Public Schools marching bands, elected officials and representatives of service organizations. This year’s observance marks the return of Michigan Fallen, which has marked the occasion with placards honoring state residents who have died in overseas conflicts.” “(Michigan Fallen is) a large group that pays tribute to people who have given their lives. They have nice placards. It’s a huge group. They probably will have a bagpiper there, and they do a wonderful job,” Memorial Day Parade
