Philadelphia Veterans Parade & Festival
Celebrate the 70,000 vets who live in the Philadelphia region at the 11th annual Veterans Parade and Festival.
The parade — featuring marching bands, honorarium brigades, law enforcement and emergency vehicles, local celebrities, and over 250 motorcyclists — follows last year’s route, kicking off in front of the Barnes Foundation before proceeding down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
The procession ends at Eakins Oval, where the Veterans Festival takes over with food trucks, vendors and gift sellers, plus plenty of games for the kids.
