Across the span of nearly 40 years, Miami Lakes has saluted veterans with the longest running parade in Miami-Dade County. This year, the Town’s Veterans Affairs Committee will host the 39th annual Veterans Day Parade on Sunday, November 11.
Sponsored in part by The Graham Companies, Miami Lakes AutoMall and Dade Institute of Technology, 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.
Organizations interested in participating in the 2018 parade are urged to apply by Monday, October 29, at http://bit.ly/2018VetParadeParticipant.
The parade can be viewed from multiple locations along Ludlam Road from Bull Run Road to Eagles Nest. Parade attendees are encouraged to show their support by wearing red, white and blue, as well as by waving flags as the parade participants go by.
