for Memorial Day, there's a distinction between the original official Memorial Day (May 30) and the day it's actually observed (last Monday in May, this year May 25).
Somerville has its Memorial Day parade on the Sunday of that weekend (this year, May 24). It goes through Davis Square, so any conflicting event that day would be a bad idea.
Cambridge's Memorial Day parade is a much smaller deal than Somerville's. I think it occurs on the observed Monday, and passes through Harvard Square.
