Twenty years ago a small group of patriotic volunteers formed a nonprofit organization to host an annual Colorado Springs Veterans Day Parade. Their mission was simple: To recognize local veterans by hosting a first-class parade in their honor. For the first time ever the parade was canceled last year due to the pandemic. The parade has approximately 100 units that include military units from 4 bases, Veterans Organizations, JROTC Youth, military and high school bands, Boy and Girl Scout Groups, and motorcycle and horse groups. There is no fee for the parade participants. The parade is open to the public and we do not sell food or souvenirs. We want the focus of the day to be entirely on the veterans that have so honorably served our country. For more information visit here.
