The 10th Annual Philadelphia Veterans Parade and Festival will be held on Sunday, November 10th, 2024 at 12 PM. With hundreds of military-friendly businesses, Veteran Service Organizations and thousands of participants, the Philadelphia Veterans Parade and Festival is always a celebration to remember. The parade starts at noon and proceeds down Benjamin Franklin Parkway and ends at the Philadelphia Art Museum and Eakins Oval, a new route for 2024! The Veteran’s Festival is a fun and family-friendly atmosphere where veterans and family members can gain access to resources ranging from job recruitment to healthcare benefits and service providers, to educational opportunities, financial assistance and workshops. The festival also includes numerous Food Trucks and activities for all to enjoy! If you cannot attend, the parade is televised on Channel 6.
Want to walk in the parade with fellow Dragons? Get a commemorative T-shirt! Please sign up by November 5th so we can keep you posted on all important event details (specific line up /arrival location, weather, parking etc.)
We will meet up near 21st and Ben Franklin Parkway to organize our team behind our Drexel banner no later than 11:30AM; specific instructions will be sent to you the week before the parade (so you must RSVP).
