The 11th annual Howard County Veterans Day Parade & Celebration will be held on November 9, 2025. Each year, this event is an opportunity to celebrate our county’s Veterans and honor their profound dedication and service to our country. The Howard County Veterans Day Parade & Celebration plays an important role in building respect and recognition for the more than 20,0000 local Veterans and their families. Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we have hosted eight successful parades and ceremonies to honor these heroes.
This year's parade theme is “Veterans Forming Future Leaders,” recognizing the importance of youth engagement. We are searching for a Grand Marshal who is a Veteran and has had a positive impact on the lives of our young people as an educator, mentor, coach, etc. Click here for the nomination form (open through September 5): https://www.howardcountyveterans.org/marshal
