The event kicked off at Setauket Village Green, and elected officials, Scouts, volunteer firefighters, the Ward Melville High School band and more started marching down Main Street and then headed east down Route 25A.

The parade ended at Setauket Veterans Memorial Park on Shore Road for a wreath-laying ceremony hosted by Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3054. In attendance was Hank Ryon, who fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
