Memorial Day Parade (on Sunday)

Kipton, Ohio

Come and ride on this Last Sunday in May parade for Memorial Day.

Camden Township, Henrietta Township and the village of Kipton will hold a parade on Route 511 in Kipton, with a memorial program at 2:30 p.m.
The Village of Kipton's parade participants will gather at the water tower at 1:30 p.m. and the parade steps off at 2:00 p.m., circle the town, and then head to Memorial Park, where Mayor Bob Meilander will give an opening welcome speech and a roll call of veterans will be read.

The paved North Coast Inland Trail also passes through Kipton offering a pleasant ride before or after the parade. Participants at the 2018 Annual Meet rode to Kipton as the halfway rest stop for the OHWT.

Kipton is of note for a train wreck in 1891 that resulted in better clock timing in the railroad system nationwide.
