Here is the lineup for Monday’s 54th Newtown Labor Day Parade, as provided by the Newtown Labor Day Parade Committee. The theme of this year’s parade is “Celebrating the Fine Art of Newtown,” and longtime resident and artist Ruth Newquist will serve as grand marshal.

Step-off is at 10 am from the corner of Currituck Road and Main Street, and marchers will follow Main Street to its end, then turn left onto Glover Avenue, and then turn left onto and follow to the end of Queen Street. Participants are asked to be at their lineup position by 9:15.

The grand stand with judges and parade committee is traditionally in front of Bank of America on Queen Street. Emcees are stationed on Main Street near the flagpole, Glover Avenue, and also in front of Bank of America.

The Labor Day Parade Committee wishes to remind paradegoers to stand and salute the American flag when it passes, particularly the large flag that will be carried by a color guard at the beginning of the parade.

Residents and guests are also reminded that roads on and adjacent to the parade route, including Church Hill Road from Main Street to The Boulevard, will be closed to traffic beginning at 9 am. Without exception, all traffic will be diverted around the center of town until the end of the parade, which is expected to be around 1 pm.
