Waterford Day Parade 2026 is one of southeastern Connecticut's signature community celebrations, bringing together local organizations, businesses, first responders, veterans, performers, and residents for a patriotic parade celebrating the spirit of Waterford. This year's theme, "Unity in Our Community," honors America's 250th anniversary, Waterford's 225th anniversary, local veterans, centenarians, and the people who make the town a special place to call home.
