Veterans Day Parade 2017: Find Your Local Parade

Veterans Day Parade 2017: Find Your Local Parade

Every year on Nov. 11, citizens of the United States gather together to pay tribute to the brave men and women that once served in the United States Armed Forces. Since 1919, when it was originally known as Armistice Day and served to recognize the anniversary of the end of World War I, Veterans Day has been a day of celebrating and memorializing, typically topped off with regional parades held within many cities across the nation.


To help individuals find their local parade routes, VetFriends has compiled a list of processions being held across the nation’s 50 states. The list also covers the United States’ territory of the Virgin Islands. The listing breaks down the parades for each state and provides the starting and ending points for the procession. Additional information such as contact information for the parade organizers, times, and any featured performers and guests may also be listed.

From Los Angeles to Augusta, local veterans’ groups and ardent citizens band together year after year to organize parades that honor the nation’s former service men and women. Featuring local businesses, high school and military bands, and special guests, Veterans Day Parades have evolved immensely since the first official event Alabama in 1947.

Though Veterans day falls on a Saturday in 2017, local communities may opt to hold the parade on a different day. Refer to parade organizers, the official parade webpage, if available, or community boards for specifics on dates and times.
