Plymouth adjusts Memorial Day celebrations to honor veterans amid pandemic

PLYMOUTH, Mich. – Memorial Day celebrations will carry on in Plymouth with some changes due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Event organizers announced Tuesday that the annual Memorial Day Parade and following ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park will not take place.

Instead there will be a short, private wreath-laying ceremony at the park where veterans can watch from outside their vehicles on Monday. A procession of veterans will then drive through the city starting at 10 a.m.
