The City of Jacksonville invites residents and visitors to pay tribute to our military, past and present, at the 2023 Veterans Day Parade presented by The Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A. The parade will be held on Veterans Day this Saturday, November 11 at 11:01 a.m. in Downtown Jacksonville.

The parade will feature Mayor Donna Deegan, Grand Marshal Major General Douglas Burnett of the U.S. Air Force, and Bishop Rudolph W.
