Across the span of 30-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 Town and its Veterans Affairs Committee will host the 38th annual Veterans Day Parade on Sunday, November 5.
Sponsored in part by The Graham Companies, the patriotic parade features 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 are asked to submit an application by Wednesday, October 25, to www.miamilakes-fl.gov/vc.
The parade can be viewed from multiple locations along Ludlam Road from Bull Run Road to Eagles Nest. 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.
