Memorial Day 2025 Parade Staging Layout

Dear Merokians, do the the fact that the Freeport-Merrick Rotary Club has the south side of the Merrick Train Station blocked off with their Memorial Day event/promotion. The safest way to enter the Merrick Train Station for the beginning of the Merrick's Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony 2025 is to enter the Merrick Train station from the North Side. Please take Babylon Turnpike north from Sunrise Highway and make a right on either Bedford Avenue or Stuyvesant Avenue or Commonwealth Avenue and then make a right on Brooklyn Avenue into the north side of the Trains Station. If you are traveling southbound on Babylon Turnpike into the Train Station make a left onto Smith Street  and a right on Brooklyn Avenue into the Train Station. All other exits will be blocked off. Thank you.
