Join the entire community at the City of West Palm Beach Veterans Day Parade & Lifestyle Festival on Sunday, November 10 in downtown West Palm Beach as we honor our veterans and celebrate the lifestyle that we are afforded because of their service!
The Veterans Day Parade, produced each year by the Palm Beach County Veterans Committee begins at 2 p.m. and travels from west to east on Clematis ending at the Lifestyle Festival on Flagler Drive. Expect veteran’s organizations and individuals, marching bands, JROTCs, Cub Scouts, The Shriners, car clubs, cheerleaders and more. The parade is geared towards the community and will be a true tribute to the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country!
