Residents and visitors are invited to downtown Palm Springs on Thursday, Nov. 11 for the 24th Annual City of Palm Springs Veterans Day Parade. The parade kicks off at 3:30 p.m. on Palm Canyon Drive at Ramon Road and heads north concluding at Alejo Road. This year’s theme is “Honoring All Who Served” in our Armed Forces. For the first time ever, the parade will be broadcast live on NBC Palm Springs. Immediately following the event, the Palm Springs High School Spirit of the Sands Band will perform a post-parade patriotic concert on the corner of Palm Canyon Drive and Amado Road. The concert concludes with a fireworks finale.
In addition, the City of Palm Springs proudly announces that for the 13th year in a row the Veterans Day National Committee of the Department of Veterans Affairs has designated the City of Palm Springs as a Regional Site for the observance of Veterans Day.
