Members of the Westerly Fire Department will host the 127th Annual Westerly Fire Department Firemen’s Memorial Parade & Ceremony on Sunday, June 14, 2026.
For more than a century, the Westerly Fire Department has gathered on the second Sunday in June to honor and remember those who have served the department and the citizens of the Westerly Fire District. Dating back to 1899, Firemen’s Memorial Sunday remains one of the department’s most meaningful and enduring traditions.
Parade kicks off at 0900 from WFD Headquarters:
• Right onto Broad Street
• Left onto Grove Avenue
• Left onto High Street
• Right onto Broad Street
• Left onto Main Street
• Left onto Union Street
The parade will conclude at WFD Headquarters where a memorial ceremony will be held in remembrance of the department’s departed members. Light refreshments will follow the ceremony.
Prior to Firemen’s Memorial Sunday, the department will also host its inaugural Wreath Laying Ceremony on Friday, June 12, 2026, at 7:00 PM, where department members and the public will gather to honor Chief Egger and Assistant Chief Keena at their gravesites.
The community is encouraged to attend both events as we honor the generations of firefighters who dedicated themselves to protecting Westerly.
