Miami Beach Veterans Day Parade

Veterans Day celebrates active duty and retired men and women who chose to serve their country with pride. Here is a list of some of the Miami-Dade Veterans Day festivities we found. They include parades, picnics, parachutes, jazz, breakfasts and even motorcycle stunt shows.

We urge everyone to show their appreciation for the members of our armed forces. Unlike Memorial Day, which honors those who are no longer with us, Veterans Day is a recognition of those who serve(d) and it is a celebration of life!

The following list is by city, therefore please scroll down so you don't miss earlier events:
