We hope to see all of our Connecticut Veterans November 3, 2013!
The annual Connecticut Veterans Parade is attended by 25,000 spectators, more than 150 Military and Veterans groups and musical units, and close to 4,000 marchers representing dozens of Connecticut towns.
Ours is the largest Veterans Parade in all of New England, and one of the biggest salutes to veterans in the entire U.S.
Parade step off is at 12:30 p.m. near the State Capitol Building in Hartford. Reviewing Stand is across the street from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art.
Parade stops for a 1:30 p.m. Moment of Silence with a tolling of the Center Church bell and a stirring rendition of the national anthem. It is a sight to remember!
11:30 a.m. Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Arch in Bushnell Park precedes the parade.
The Veterans Day National Committee in Washington, D.C. has recognized the parade as one of the nation's official "Veterans Day Regional Sites" for three consecutive years. It has been the only Connecticut recipient of this prestigious honor all three years.
Please join us! Show your support for the men & women who bravely serve our country.....
