*Parade at 11am
Main Street in downtown Auburn

One of the largest Veterans Parades west of the Mississippi! The 59th annual Veterans Parade proceeds west on Main Street from E Street SE to A Street NW. This year's event will commence at 11:00am sharp with a flyover from a C-17 Globemaster III by the 446th Airlift Wing from McChord Air Force Base and you'll be in for a big surprise around 11:10am, as the King County Sheriff's Office is scheduled to fly their UH-1H 'Huey' helicopter, Guardian2 low over the parade route.

Spectators can expect to see numerous marching bands, including America's First Corps Band from Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Navy Band Northwest. Be on the lookout for antique military vehicles, honor guards and ROTC Units, military marching units, veteran marching groups, drill teams, community and scouting groups, as well as numerous motorcycle clubs, antique car clubs and more.
