2026 World’s Shortest Memorial Day Parade & New Business News

The Crown King Memorial Day Parade never disappoints! While being led off by the local Veterans who served proudly, the entire town shares their love and respect for our Fallen Heroes. There is nothing quite like a Crown King parade. Some build elaborate floats while others simply march waving the American flag with pride. There really are no rules, only that you come out and share your patriotism with one another. While our parade is touted as The World’s Shortest Memorial Day Parade, it actually had a lot of entries and was one of the best ever. The length of Main Street is short but not our enthusiasm.

The newest CK restaurant, The Depot, had it’s grand opening on Saturday, May 23rd. Located across the street from the General Store, The Depot has several great food options as well as a full service bar. Be sure to check them out on your next trip to Crown King.

Stop in and meet the new owners of the Crown King General Store, Jordan and Lindsey Rodzaj! Lindsey is the daughter of Sandy Baker who owned the store with Gerry Morgan since 2013.

The General Store opened the Rocky Road Sweet Stop Ice Cream Parlor for the first time this season. Aubrey & Jackson Furbacher dished up some delicious Thrifty Ice Cream all weekend long.
