Memorial Mile | May 25, 2026 | 11:00 AM
The Town of Rolesville aims to honor the sacrifices of community members and their families who served in the United States Armed Forces. To recognize their service, we have organized a Memorial Day remembrance event known as the Memorial Mile. This event will honor and commemorate the brave men and women who served our country. Additionally, signs will be displayed along South Main Street on Memorial Day.
Join us to honor and remember those who served our country. Memorial Signs will line Main Street starting at Town Hall on Memorial Day. The Memorial Day Ceremony, hosted by the Rolesville Garden Club, will start at 11:00 AM, followed by a Walk of Remembrance from the Rolesville Community Center to The Joel Fund. At The Joel Fund, located at 113 W Young St, Rolesville, NC 27571, there will be free hot dogs and a chance to chat with friends and family. A shuttle will also be available to return to the Rolesville Community Center for those who cannot walk the mile back after the event.
