The City of Jacksonville invites residents and visitors to pay tribute to our military, past and present, at the 2024 Veterans Day Parade presented by The Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A. The parade will be held on Veterans Day - Monday, November 11 - at 11:01 a.m. in Downtown Jacksonville.
 
“It is truly an honor to be able to participate in this parade, which celebrates our military and veteran community,” said Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan. “Jacksonville is a proud military town, and this event is a terrific way to thank all the local men and women who have so bravely served our nation.”
 
The parade will feature Mayor Donna Deegan and Grand Marshal Senator John Thrasher, who served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War and was honorably discharged as a decorated Captain. In addition, the parade will include senior military officials, active duty and retired military units, veteran groups, local school groups, decorative floats and more.
 
The 2024 Veterans Day Parade presented by the Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A. begins on Water Street in front of the Jacksonville Center of the Performing Arts and will make a left turn onto Hogan St. The parade will then continue east on Bay St until it reaches LOT X near EverBank Stadium.
