The San Diego Veterans Day Parade is a free annual event honoring those who have served in the past and the present. Thousands of residents and community leaders will line the parade route on November 11, 2026 to pay tribute to America’s heroes – the Veterans of our Armed Forces.
This year, the Veterans Day Parade will proudly commemorate the veterans who served during Operation Desert Storm, on it's 35th anniversary. Marching bands, historic military units, vintage vehicles and patriotic performers will blend in a heartfelt tribute down Harbor Drive, along San Diego's waterfront.
The parade will start near the County Administration Building on Harbor Drive and will run south on Harbor Drive. The parade ends near Harbor Drive and Pacific Highway near Seaport Village.
