OLD LYME — Continuing the highly successful tradition started in 2020 when a full graduation ceremony could not be held at Lyme-Old Lyme High School (LOLHS) due to COVID-19 restrictions, a car parade will be held Wednesday, June 11, through Old Lyme to celebrate the graduating LOLHS Class of 2025.
The graduation ceremony itself will be held the following day, Thursday, June 12, starting at 6 p.m. at the high school.
On the evening of June 11, LOLHS seniors will gather at the high school at 5 p.m. for ice-cream and car-decorating. They will then form a convoy of their cars at the school.
The parade will start at 6 p.m. and proceed from the LOL High School down Lyme Street to the junction with Ferry Rd.
The Old Lyme Fire, Police and Ambulance Departments will be participating, along with the Lyme Ambulance Association and Lyme Fire Company.
Traditionally, townspeople line the route to celebrate the graduates with cheering, waving signs, honking horns and generally making a supportive noise.
The parade is anticipated to last until 7 p.m.
