Greenwich Avenue will close to vehicle traffic on Wednesday, Nov. 11, as American Legion Post 29 leads the annual Veterans Day Patriotic Walk through downtown.

The march steps off at 10:30 a.m. at Amogerone Crossway and heads down Greenwich Avenue to the World War I memorial outside Restoration Hardware, according to First Selectman Fred Camillo's weekly community newsletter. A ceremony at the memorial will begin at 11 a.m.

Greenwich Avenue will be closed from Amogerone Crossway to Arch Street during the march so pedestrians can walk safely. Veterans and their families are encouraged to march, and spectators are welcome to line the avenue.

American Legion Post 29 is organizing the event with the Greenwich Police Department and the Horseneck Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Camillo noted that Selectwoman Lauren Rabin joined him at the Post 29 ceremony in November 2025 alongside veterans Ed Vic and Peter LeBeau.

Dean Gamanos, a Navy veteran and Post 29 member, took part in the walk in 2018, Greenwich Free Press reported.

Town Hall closed, Holly Hill open

Town Hall will be closed for regular business on Veterans Day. The Holly Hill Resource Recovery Center will keep its normal hours, 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Marine Corps flag raising Tuesday

The day before Veterans Day, American Legion Post 29 will raise the U.S. Marine Corps flag at Town Hall. That ceremony is set for 10 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to Camillo's newsletter. Post 29 Commander John McCormick, a Marine, will lead the event. The flag will fly for three days.

Camillo noted that his late father, Al Camillo, served in the Marines. The town plans similar flag raisings for the U.S. National Guard on Dec. 13 and the U.S. Space Force on Dec. 20, with all branch ceremonies moving to afternoon times in 2027.
