About This Event
Salute the 70,000 vets who live in the Philadelphia region at the city’s annual Veterans Day Parade and Festival — scaled up to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary. The dramatic arrival of parachuters — timed to coincide with a performance of the national anthem — officially kicks off the massive Benjamin Franklin Parkway procession of over 3,000 paraders, including marching bands, honorarium brigades, law enforcement and emergency vehicles, local celebrities, and 200 (!) motorcyclists. The fun culminates with vendors, food and entertainment at an all-ages festival at Eakins Oval.
