Hi, I go to Hillgrove High School, and I am in the JROTC unit and we were looking for a parade to be able to march in. If this is okay, please contact me through my e-mail so we can talk. Thank you!
Is there an application process to be able to enter in the Veteran’s Day parade? Thanks!
Please advise on correct date of parade. Is it the second Saturday in November, the 9th or is it on Veterans Day, the 11th?
Hi Jose,
Thanks for the question. We just updated the article and the 2013 parade is on Monday, November 11, 2013 at 11am. Hope to see you there.
The 11th
Where is the best place for observers to park?
Whom do I contact to participate in the ceremony? I will provide details during connection.
Thank you for your assistance 🙂
Is this for 2015 or an old article?
I hope it is not too late but my company would love to have a float and or a tent. Can someone contact me soon if possible. Thanks!
I am looking for military vehicles to be static displayed at a veterans event on June 9th, 2018 at Southern Devil Harley Davidson.
This is a pro-veteran event, Veterans Helping Veterans and all proceeds are going to Healing for Heroes, that provide service dogs to veterans in need of certified service dogs.
This is so exciting. what time will the streets reopen?
This is so exciting. How long does the parade last?
Crying shame the 2022 Veterans Parade was canceled. It’s understandable that it would be postponed to Saturday, due to a Wednesday forecast for Friday’s anticipated weather, but to cancel it for Saturday is inexcusable. The weather was perfect, I was there…it’s a shame our city so easily dismissed it. Sad example of today’s Goverment official’s general diminishing respect for its traditions, average citizenry and especially disrespectful to our Veterans.
Could you inquire why the city said the parade would start at 11 am at Roswell St Baptist Church, yet it actually started at 10:45 am?
So many people were still streaming in and missed most of the parade.
