Over the span of thirty-plus years, the Town of Miami Lakes and the former Miami Lakes Civic Association have saluted veterans with the longest running parade in all of Miami-Dade County. This year, the Miami Lakes Veterans Committee will host the 37th annual Veterans Day Parade on Sunday, November 6.
The parade route will begin at Bull Run Road and Ludlam Road (N.W. 67 Avenue), and continue south on Ludlam Road to Eagle Nest Lane, ending at Town Hall, 6601 Main Street. The parade can be viewed from multiple locations along Ludlam Road from Bull Run Road to Eagle Nest Lane.
Parade watchers are encouraged to show their support by wearing red, white and blue, as well as waving flags as the parade participants go by.
Sponsored in part by The Graham Companies, the patriotic parade will feature more than 3,000 participants including active-duty and retired military, veterans’ groups, local high school and middle school marching bands, JROTC units and more.
Individuals and/or organizations interested in participating in the parade as asked to submit an application by Wednesday, October 26, to www.miamilakes-fl.gov/vc.
