Let’s Honor Our Veterans, Together
The National Veterans Parade Foundation, under the permitting assistance of the Mayor’s Special Events Task Group, is proud to host the first inaugural National Veterans Parade!
On Sunday, November 12th, 2023 along Constitution Avenue, we hosted the Veterans Organizations, Floats, Specialty Vehicles and Marching Bands to celebrate and honor our Nation’s Veteran Community for their duty to defend and protect the United States.
This Inaugural Event is long overdue, and the first time ever our Veterans are honored on a National level in our Nation’s Capital!

Our Mission & How You Can Help
Our Non Profit 501c3 was formed to promote Veteran Service Organizations by holding the first ever National Parade for the Men and Women who have served. 2025 will be the third annual National Veterans Parade on our National Parade Route in Washington, DC on Sunday, November 9th.
We recognize the Solemn Oath taken by every Veteran when entering the Service, and recognize those who continue to serve their communities after their military commitment ends.
The Parade is meant to showcase and promote the many VSO’s that provide benefit beyond the Veterans Administration.
All proceeds from the Gala Fundraiser go towards the production costs to the District of Columbia, the National Park Service, and private vendors. Any and all funds raised beyond our debt service goes toward Veteran Service Organizations in the Parade, as well as our specific cause of Veteran Homeless Services.
All members of the Foundation are volunteers, we take no salary or monetary benefit from the Foundation.
